Left and right is a spectrum of ideology.
In the US that spectrum doesn’t exist to the left of democrats. It ends at democrats.
Those cops, zionists and republicans are also a part of our democracy and they have a vote. Leftists consistently lose elections for not considering this.
Democrats tried to be less moderate in 2016 and 2024 and lost because of it. Which is expected because leftists can’t win elections.
The problem with that approach is you do all the work for the GOP propaganda machine every time you argue against a democratic candidate.
So by the time your revolution fails, your campaign gets weaponized by the GOP. Everything negative you had to say about the democrat candidate is now being said by the GOP. And it’s super effective at convincing some democratic voters to stay home because it’s the same talking points used by their own party.
Instead of trying to discourage voters from choosing democrats, leftists should just say why voters should chose the leftist and accept the results when voters choose the moderate option.
India Walton, Nina Turner?
Won the primary. Lost the election.
Not even a little
Or elections
Leftists aren’t winning elections.
Dems tried to cater to leftists in 2016 and 2024 and lost as a result.
The majority of Americans don’t want leftist politicians as we can see with election results.
Leftists are forcing Dems to the right by giving the elections to Trump
They’ve literally won the majority of elections since the 90s by appealing to moderates. They lost in 2024 because Russia had a war at stake and billionaires didn’t want to get taxed. Add in inflation from the pandemic and you have a tough campaign to win.
The argument that democrats can’t win without the left is not based on reality.
Dems tried to appeal to leftist and they screeched “genicide Joe” until Trump won.
Meanwhile republicans won because voters to the right of leftist know the importance of not shitting on the candidate they want to win.
Splitting the only opposition to the Republican Party during a coup is a guaranteed benefit to the GOP.
That’s what you are arguing for.
You want me to apologize for pointing out the cause and effect of what you’re asking for?
And splitting into a 3rd party would divide all opposition to republicans during a coup. Sounds like something they want.
Starting a 3rd party has always been a bad faith argument meant to weaken votes against republicans.
