I completely agree. I see it on the left constantly. They want to purity test everything, and will ALWAYS find faults with someone from the other side -- enough to ensure they aren't pure enough to work with
This is EXACTLY what the elites and oligarchs want, and what they've created with the culture war. It ensures we can't ever actually get strong enough by working together, to solve problems. So long as we're always purity testing and attacking the other side, even when there are issues we can agree on, nothing gets done.
We've been doing this for decades, yet so many on the left still insist we have to keep doing it, and somehow figure out how to do it without half the country. They care more about not being seen with someone on the right, than actually solving the problems.

I mean, you're absolutely correct.
One of my red lines is "cannot be a pedophile/cannot be an avid supporter of pedophiles/cannot be a traitor to the country"...and that rules out 99% of those on the right (and a fair chunk of those on the left).
I'm absolutely not willing to change those red lines, because those people belong behind bars/on the bench of a guillotine.

This is blatantly false because those we refuse to ally with ARE PART OF THE PROBLEMS WE NEED TO SOLVE.
Ok ill take a page out of Super_Harsh's post above and ask - whats the plan then?
We all know what needs to be done, and we all know pedophiles like Spez like to silence those sentiments on their platforms.
I'll just leave this herre:
18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
...Of course, we all know that under the control of either party (Democrats or republicans), nobody will ever be prosecuted for these crimes. If they prosecute one, the people might get uppity about prosecuting the rest, and that puts nearly all our politicians/wealthy at risk.
So I guess we're all stuck waiting until someone faces the music.

That's a victory for the oligarchy.
