15 million people who voted for Biden didn't show up to vote for Harris. They didn't go vote for Trump, he got fewer votes this time than last time. So 15 million people just stayed home. The question is: what would have gotten them out to vote? Everything the Dems try every time, clearly isn't the answer... Moving right, courting the center right, gaslighting, strong arming, bullying, running on nothing more than "at least I'm not him", etc... maybe, just maybe, it's time to move left and embrace progressive policy... And not just bullshit half-assed lip service either... I'm talking put Bernie and the squad in charge of the DNC and start kicking out fake Dems.
Edit: I mean "fake" Dems as compared to the actual progressives we'd stack the party with
Democrats serve donors, not voters. They would only go left if the alternative would be being shot by People's Tribunal.
