Not voting for them has never once, in the history of history, gotten them to change. It actually causes them to pull further right.

    Yeah, they probably think, well the right is doing so well so that's probably what the country wants. We need to move further right!

    Yep. Every time they've pulled farther right and lost, they've blamed the leftists for it for being too extremist in their policy demands or claiming that their issues aren't as important, like in the case with Millennials and housing costs, student debt, climate change, etc. Despite trying to make some headway on those issues, they've always refused to campaign on them.
