It's weird realizing just how much *all* of us have been affected by the Bernie type of extremist rhetoric. It insidiously reprogrammed us into more than often thinking in extreme measures instead of common sense.
Yair's thread is a reminder what the convention is for and why.

2/We also revert to extremism when dealing with groups like Lincoln Project.
A group whose leadership pushed legislation discriminating against us; they laid the ground that gave rise to Trump & his GOP.
They understand & know how to beat the crooked system they helped create.

3/And we don't know how to find that middle ground anymore, because we've been reprogrammed into thinking that either you bend the knee, or you surrender your soul.
But that's not real life. Life is made of compromises, of wanting conservatives to embrace Civil & Women's Rights.

4/Tbh, they won't be swaying us to reject our Civil & Women's Rights.
Chances are though *they* will be swayed towards the Center than we are to the Right.
The more you work with people you used to dehumanize, the more likely you are to stop pushing laws that dehumanize them.

5/Working with LP is a double-edged sword.
They will certainly be affected by us. And some of us, in a hurry to help White Patriarchy, would be affected by them.
It's on us to gently, lovingly, slap the nonsense out of you, reminding you the hard-earned Rights we fought for.
