You could've stayed on with the belief that you'd mitigate the MAGAts at the very start but you have to concede that they're only dragging you deeper now, not the other way around.

It's the same with progressives and Democrats. I used to believe progressives should stay and help pull moderates and liberals left in the Democrat party. But it's inescapably clear now that mainstay Democrats are completely unwilling to be dragged left, so the left needs to separate. If you stay in the party, you stay complicit with what it does. This isn't a home you built or a nationality you were born into. It's a job you went for and a side you chose; choose a different one now that the current one is soiled.
