    Leftists have been very clear about why the Democrats are failing their voters. A party that supports Capitalism can not support workers, simple as.

    You can start listening to them and stop trying to bully them into submission any time you feel like engaging in reality.

      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.

      Honestly this is a good reason why the left is and will always be mostly ineffectual as a political movement.

      When you’re not fighting yourselves over who’s the most ideologically pure you’re spouting shit like this.
