You're tone-policing. Pure and simple. This is an old song. "Now is not the time to be radical. We can't rock the boat because it might hurt the chances of Democrats getting elected. Let's just get through this election and there will be change."

It's never the time. You're asking to wait until a "more convenient season." Again, splitting hairs between the slogan and the demands is a cowardly dodge on your part. The "left" isn't coming up with the slogan "defund police."

It's black abolitionists who have left politics. It's black women, like Angela Davis and Nikkita Oliver, who every white liberal is constantly urging folks to "listen to." The "backbone of the party, etc." But when they say things y'all don't like suddenly they're transformed into white leftists who want to re-elect rightwing tyrants.

You're more worried about radical demands turning off voters than you're worried about decrepit Joe Biden and his dying brain turning off voters or depressing black votes by alienating and insulting black people. You're blaming Jill Stein for Clinton losing despite the fact that Clinton lost because she was even more hated than Trump.

Materialist view? What a joke. Now is the perfect time to push for change. M4A has supermajority support among all voters. Black Lives Matter is more popular than the president.

If we limited our demands to exclude anything that might possibly maybe potentially hurt the Democratic candidate among a narrow sliver of 10 million white suburban swing voters nothing would ever get done.
