the only reason i'm engaging with you in the first place is to reveal how toxic your ideology is/hurt your credibility in the eyes of any onlookers who might still believe that you're 'reasonable.' you're really good at coming off as 'pragmatic' and 'reasonable,' so all I can really say is, thank you for actually willingly admitting that you want a strong conservative party. it truly does destroy any credibility you might have had with anyone except for probably mrhands.Please explain why wanting a viable Conservative party makes for a “lost cause.”
