Much of the American Left is literally allergic to winning. When they come close to doing something which could help us win something they will revert to their contrarian instincts and self-sabotage the movement. Until we overcome this tendency we are destined to lose.

Seriously, a lot of folks seem content to think, "well, we lost but at least we are right" -- a kind of loser nerd lunchtable attitude from high school. The people winning aren't wrong, though...they're absolutely right in terms of their own goals and no "logic" will change them

Look at the actual right-wing. They don't compromise very much at all. They Fucking double down and refuse to compromise until their opponents compromise. Hell, many Libertarians used to read Lenin for this reason. They hated his Marxism, but loved his political strategy.
