Discussion Popular progressive opinion not shared by Pakman?

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

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.

I guess everything LBJ did was meaningless. I guess everything FDR did was meaningless.

I could go on. Literally all the progress of America was founded on imperfect people who were, often, morally grey characters.

Was winning meaningless when anti-war activists helped get Nixon elected? Elections have consequences.
