    Be the radical leftist they’re so afraid of.

    Push the conversation as far left as they’ve pushed it right, no, much, much further. To absolutely insane territory.

    Compromise isn’t ever going to work, so fuck it. Make unreasonable demands. Demand true universal healthcare for all, including illegal aliens currently on the run for violent crimes. Demand paid parental leave for full time stay at home parents. Demand access to 95th trimester abortions if being a parent just ain’t working for you. Mandatory sex Ed every year starting at Pre-K, taught exclusively by drag queens and pre-op trans people.

    Become unhinged.

      I’ll be honest, I don’t understand why the hell we’re not already doing exactly this.

      I think I was maybe three or four years old when it finally clicked that you always ask for more than you want / expect. Couldn’t elucidate it as such, at the time, but I certainly can now. Corollary is that if you make reasonable demands, expecting good faith, you will get bartered down to zero. Generations of market stall sellers can attest to that one the world over.
