That was the problem with German Communists. They were playing purity politics just as too many due today. Democrats lost 3 presidential elections because some people played purity politics and stayed home or made a protest vote to feel morally superior to everyone else.

And you’re right what works in one district or city or state or region may not work in others. Many have a zero tolerance attitude especially if it comes to their pet issues. That’s just short sighted. The only way for democracy to work is to accept compromise. But many just want what they want and would prefer authoritarianism who agrees with them.
