Then how do you explain this:

"Keighley went on to detail how shocked he was when he found out that Konami didn't allow Kojima to attend last year's Game Awards." (a quote from the article)

Hatred of allies: NO

Holding our allies' feet to the fire: YES

We should not meekly accept a few crumbs.

We should fight, unapologetically, for 100% of everything we want to see. When did the right wing tea party say "Thank you for meeting us half way, we are so grateful, we will now go along to get along." Never. The right wing get 80% of everything they want from an absolute minority position precisely because they fight for 100% of everything they want 100% of the time. The left needs to pay attention.

There are no long term allies, only long term interests.

I like chocolate and yogurt covered raisins. Love raisins baked into bread. But naked raisins? Meh. I like dried fruit like banana chips, papaya, apple chips, etc.
