    Stand up in the primaries, we’re in the general election now. This is the only strategy that works with FPTP.

    The 6 months before the general election is the only period when you don’t want to create division. That gives you 3 years and 6 months for critical discussion which is fairly reasonable.

      Stand up in the primaries

      We did. There were a wide range of leftist and progressive candidates to chose from. Moderates said “none of those we choose this old guy who’s gonna block strikes, force federal workers back into the office and supply weapons to Israel.”
