neo libs must choose… either there is not enough progressives to demand a progressive candidate so they are not a large enough block to have changed the outcome OR they are large enough bloc to demand progressive cannidate and the democrats ignoring them cost them the election.

and they always pivot talking points

    It's almost like Democrats are 2016 Republicans, which were fascist light...

    I'm happy to see more progressives running but as a recent example, Madami, the Dems would have rather he lost than win even if it meant electing Trump. They're the ones that put themselves in this position, now us.

    There's a reason actual leftists refer to these losers as "social fascists"

    Liberals vastly prefer fascism to actual justice.

    And then they get mad when you call it out with documentation, even directly quoting their political idols and their own words about what they support.

    They just want the fascism done quietly in blue color than loudly in red.

    Funny, that works just as well in reverse: If "the left" is big enough that all the posturing about not voting for the lesser evil, and the moral purity BS caused Trump to win, they are responsible for untold horrors simply because they want to grand stand. If they aren't big enough, they're irrelevant anyway, so why would anyone care?

    If the left is small, then it was rightly ignored, but can't be blamed. If it's large, then it could be blamed, had it not been ignored. What you can't do is both ignore it and then blame it.

    This isn't feudalism, it's not the job of the peasants to mollify the Lord, getting votes is a politician's job. Blaming the electorate for your loss is an abrogation of responsibility.
