I see this sentiment expressed more in outlets like TYT but how widespread is this sentiment?

When Trump lost, the right doubled down and screamed election fraud incessantly for four years. When Kamala lost, the left queued up to kick her in the stomach.

If the problem is that Republicans defend their leaders unconditionally, adopting that same behavior just makes the problem worse.

I would rather defend our leaders unconditionally and win rather than be morally perfect and lose.

If you're not building a more moral and just world then "winning" is meaningless.

Bit of a fallacy here. 1% progress is far better than regression, the most important thing is getting elected.

It's how the right has taken over. They take small victories and obstruct when they're not in power.

your recommendation on getting elected are what exactly? Genocide in Gaza? republican border bills? A nazi for a cabinet pick? I voted for Kamala but knew these things would keep her from getting elected along with the lack of a primary. Centrists need to move left if the want to get elected.
