My point is to deal in reality and push actual conservative policies that can be passed and continue to push the Overton Window in our favor.
We have to get good candidates elected first. Rhetoric is important. Our candidates need to learn to emulate the left's strategy of hiding your power level.
Leftists run as moderates and govern as hard leftists.
Hard right Conservatives run as hard right conservatives and lose the election and never get to govern.
We need less idiot candidates. Mastriano is a prime example of what NOT to do.
My point is that we are not screwed and that we must not give up electoral politics.
Having been reading his comments for ages now, part of it is also knowing what candidates are even able to win in specific places. Purple states unfortunately need purple candidates to win because the suburbs exist, already red states can run more stringent right wing candidates, and you have to run purple candidates in blue states because again, suburbs.
That is not my point.

We need to be smarter.
