Look at the 'decent take' he just posted. Nothing democrats did will ever be good enough for these twats because they want everything, right now. Incremental change? What the fuck is that?
I'm better off blocking this wanker for the sake of my mental health.
The DNC clearly needs progressives to win, and yet liberals refuse to do anything but antagonize and insult and condescend to leftists.
We tried "incremental change" with Hillary in 2016 and lost, Biden leaned more on progressive talking points and won (barely). The DNC saw that and said, "alright, so 2024, we're gonna go hard right again."
All the while, leftists and progressives, throughout the campaign, were vocally calling for policies that better reflected their needs and concerns. They weren't asking for everything, but they wanted something to show them the DNC was willing to compromise with them.
Instead, people like you and the Harris campaign, doubled down on Republican-lite policies because "stop fascism," condescended to and screamed at anyone who tried to criticize Harris and her policies during the, refused to meet us, the leftists they need to win the election, anywhere in the middle, but then extended a warm and welcoming arm to Cheney and her Republican ilk.
So why is it the Democrats are more willing to compromise with Republicans who won't vote for them, but not compromise with their own constituents looking for a progressive option to vote for rather than only an option to vote against?
Not an American and too tired to deal with this fuckery. Keep riding that moral high horse while Trump takes a wrecking ball to the country. Same goes for those supposedly millions of leftist/progressives who'd rather risk a Trump presidency than have a dialog with Harris administration.
Ciao.
Yep, keep plugging your ears and telling yourself the voting base that wasn't represented in either candidate stayed home and it's their fault.
Not the fault of an unpopular platform telling Americans the numbers on their papers and charts are more important than their lived reality.
CiAo 🙄
