A union doesn't get better treatment by continuing to work the machines that mangle them.

I dont have much of a better answer but I'm getting tired of hearing this.

that metaphor doesn't apply. The only way you change the rules in politics is by participating in politics. Conservatives have been losing pretty hard since Biden won. If they keep trying to push messaging that doesn't get people to vote for them, then other people will try to take over and try to appeal to those same voters, but with different messaging.
