Abstentionists: *Don't vote for Dems*
Dems: *lose the election*
Dems: *go further right in an attempt to attract more voters*
Abstentionists: *surprised Pikachu*
Aren't you concerned with your fellow countrymen being under represented by their options available in a First Past The Post voting system? Don't you care about democracy?
Say it louder so people in the back can hear it! This is very true, if Democrats did better in elections they would be able to accomplish more of their goals.
Cool, so next time we'll show up to support the Bernie-equivalent in the primaries unlike in 2016 and 2020, right?
Right...?
The constant refrain of "I don't understand why the Dem party is appealing to moderates when moderates win the primaries????" is immensely frustrating. And before the usual, predictable chorus of "RIGGED PRIMARIES" comes up, no, the DNC does not play fair, but that also doesn't mean they were stuffing the ballot boxes. They framed things in an anti-Bernie way, but that ultimately didn't matter because both times we lost by double digit percentage points against the fuckwad moderate candidate.
Our 'elites' are dogshit, but the essential problem is that the American electorate is neither educated on the issues nor particularly left. That is where change starts, so get educating instead of wishing for BAD elites to be replaced by GOOD elites.
Pfffft good luck with that
The left don’t turn out to vote so I expect the DNC to keep chasing people who actually vote and keep moving right.
By your logic absenteeists should actually vote republican if they want democrats to court their vote.
They basically did already so why not?
The DNC is the far right. They only appear moderate next to overt fascism.
