      The contemporary left seems to think they can fight honorably and win on every front, when we face opponents that have fought dishonorably for decades and now are winning on every front

      Obama started from a position of weakness, used duplicity and deal making to get important progress done, and the young left threw it all away because then he had to fight to keep things stable and they weren't willing to keep having more imperfect, dishonorable, slow progress

      They like progress but only if it’s fast and tenuous. Not slow but resolute

      To be fair, Obama was slow and tenuous. The thing is, we will never have a shot to win at anything other than the lesser evil, because that's all politics can be. The core voters we needed sabotaged us in 2016 bc they weren't willing to support a lesser evil to keep slowly moving

      This is true. Only way that would change would have to involve a major reworking of our presidential electoral system as a start. And the dirt bag left you talk about. They seem to hate having real power.

      I'm skeptical of multi party/non FPTP systems and I think I have good reason - there's nowhere that doesn't have what amounts to a far right nationalist coalition and then a center left coalition, just because they're able to subdivide further doesn't change that

      And multi party systems help extremists get a foothold. They're destabilizing.

      I really don't see what you're basing this on. There's plenty of far right extremists in FPTP systems. FPTP rewards geographically concentrated fringes while punishing geographically diffuse ones.

      FPTP for Congress has this effect, although more precisely what we're talking about is "single-member districts" where the single member is elected by plurality

      I.e. theoretically if there's a hundred socialists in every town and city in the state but they're all spread out they'll never get a congressman, while a much smaller number of Nazis who all live in the same town almost certainly will

          Right, so in this hypothetical, an average socialist ballot for a district in Naziville would end up casting its vote for the Dem equivalent whereas the Nazis would risk even less voting for the open Nazi first and might elect them, rather than the Republicsn

          Not sure I follow that. Do the Nazis in this hypothetical outnumber the "Republicans" and do the "Republicans" prefer the Nazis to the "Dem"?

          Meanwhile there's the opposite effect for non-fringe groups - Republicans have an edge because they are less concentrated in general, so places where they have majorities have narrower majorities, a sort of natural gerrymandering that happens even with compact districts

          This is quite true, and I forgot to mention it. In general I think it's bad when representation is distorted, people instinctively pick up on the fact that people aren't getting what they want, and that reduces trust in institutions, which reduces social cohesiveness.
