 Politics involves strategy. It involves the long game, thinking about the end goal not the immediate reaction. 

Progressive today have COMPLETELY lost the inability to strategize and see the forest through the trees. 

You know who was a brilliant fucking strategist even though he had the right to burn it to the ground every day? Martin Luther King Jr. Study his strategy, just statecraft, his communication, when he fought and when he paused. 

There is only immediate feeling and it’s a losing strategy for progressives today.
