  • Yeah cuz I am too lazy to go look this shit up again because yall don’t care anyways and are gonna continue to try and fight the people who are trying to help.

    From studies I’ve seen before the election, progressive left literally votes for Dem more than any other ideological block for dems by % total (which includes non-voters).

    And sorry it’s been years but iirc it was like .4% for PSL and 1.1% for green? And then I think .5% constitution and like 4% for libertarian. You can go look up the numbers from like, even the 2016 election which was the largest 3rd party vote I think? Idr anymore. I just remember it being about 3-4x total for the right vs left 3rd parties put together showing the left really doesn’t have a 3rd party problem but that doesn’t stop the DNC from attacking it to stop people from wanting progressive policy since they refuse to run any. They’ve sued to get 3rd party taken off the ballot in a lot of states, while trying to say republicans are anti-democratic. (Which like duh they are too, but like… if that’s gonna be y’all’s message maybe don’t do anti-democratic shit like refuse to have primaries, give a “victory fund” to a candidate before primaries, and sue to remove 3rd parties from elections.)


  • Oh right I forgot “you have to vote who you think will win”

    So, you are wrong and voted wrong too.

    Did you think Harris could actually win? Really?

    And my point in saying they didn’t have policy is their literal ads sent to my house said exactly “nothing will fundamentally change” for Biden. And Kamala made it clear she was going to do the exact same shit as she refused to break from Biden on basically anything important. Sure they had policy but it was all fuckin garbage. The DNC lost because they refuse to do something to try and win. People don’t want to put up with “at least I am not a literal clone of Hitler, even if I’m just as bad.” People want a candidate worth voting for. That’s why I’ve heard tons of kids tell me their parents haven’t voted at all since Obama. Or other normie ass people I know have said the same. The DNC has shot itself in the face repeatedly since, and Biden honestly only won because his name was tied to Obama and people forgot he was tied to Obama to try and and anchor him to centrist ass bullshit, and that Biden not for progress or change at all. People refuse to keep voting for a race to the bottom in who can put out a worst candidate because that’s why we are where we are at.

    Look at NYC, that is how you energize the voting base.
