  • Sure, whatever means our ism-flavored friends don’t have to participate

    I’ve never advocated anything of the sort, nor will I ever.

    we wonder why the ancient Dem consultants think waffling to the “center” will get them votes

    Because their strategy is stuck in 1992 when there was votes there. And Becau$e.

    It’s because no national party will ever pass the purity tests of the leftist-lefts-who-ever-lefted

    Nope. That’s just a tired excuse to dismiss the valid concerns of people who are against genocide, corruption, and warmongering, to name just a few areas where the Dem leadership isn’t representative of the people.

    So why make any effort to reach out to them?

    Because that’s their job. And also how to win elections. The last time any presidential candidate won in an actual landslide was Obama in 2008 when he ran as a reformist progressive. Then he governed as a centrist and won reelection by a much smaller margin despite an arguably easier opponent.

    It will never result in those people actively going to the polls.

    That’s the opposite of reality, as 2008 proved.

    they didn’t completely remake the entire electoral, political, social, and financial mechanisms of the country. ☹️

    You know what representative democracy means, right? Because upholding the hated status quo that causes hundreds of thousands of needless deaths and bankruptcies every year isn’t it.

    Wanting to be faithfully represented by those with the power to change what’s killing you isn’t childish. It’s common sense.
