The only thing leftists have in spades are excuses.
I wish you people would put up or shut up.
I say this as someone who WANTS those policies but of course the entire world is against leftists somehow and youre never short of reasons why you lose so goddamn often.
Yeah…if that were true leftists would have the numbers and get people on the ballot. Or you’re just admitting that leftists are not nearly as numerous as you claim.
Again- look at Mamdani. Over 25% of voters hadn’t voted in a primary in over a decade. They finally decide to do so and ta da, a leftist wins the primary.
People would listen if they actually showed up. If leftists are so numerous then it shouldn’t be a problem to get many candidates elected. See mamdani. But in general they do not.
So either that many leftists don’t exist or their policies aren’t actually that popular OR theyre too lazy or ideological to go vote.
Either way, it ensures “establishment” candidates go on to the general election.
The only time your voice matters is in the voting booth. Far too many eschew that.
Exactly. There were also polls that had desantis surging… See how well thatb panned out.
All these people upset about elected Democrats when a fuck ton more don’t take the time to just go vote.
Perhaps people are placing blame in the wrong place.
For some reason people need to feel like the world is against them. Im convinced they make up 50+% of the hate they claim is against them.
The irony of this comment calling out smugness.
No thanks. Yaml isn’t perfect but by God json is best used to return and parse data, not input it.
Yeah except Bernie banked on that in 2020 and lost.
Perhaps if progressive policy and people are so popular it would behoove people to actually show the fuck up and vote for them.
Or… People just don’t turn out to vote “real” leftists in. Election turnout submitted as exhibit A.
Im honestly tired of assholes telling us how to deal with this.
One, if you don’t live here don’t act like you would be all Badass. If you are, by all means, come to America and show us.
Two, realize the vast majority of this country didn’t care in November and still doesn’t care now. You’re not fomenting some revolution with a seriously paltry amount of the population and especially not with the environment you described.
It’s not defeatism- it’s realism. Most people dgaf. That is the current situation.
It looks like the stuff my friends show me in their Instagram. Just random text overlaid on top of a person doing nothing. Video form of course.
It’s awful IMO.
Do I care how a random person sleeps in their own house?
No, no I don’t.
Like I’ve said before- their market is small enough they should be trying to get everyone they can to buy it.
I guess. I don’t see the sense in letting the right wing drive the car off the cliff because the car is not moving quick enough to your goals but you do you.
And you should be showing up all the time is the point. Including primaries for all positions.
The only way to overcome the inertia in the Democratic party is to, you know, actually participate every time. But in general primaries are very sparsely attended affairs and all these people with such great ideas don’t put forth a candidate or at the least don’t show up to move them past a primary. C’est la vie.
