With an election coming up, the Schrodingers Leftist dilemma is in full force, even on Lemmy -
Where we're simultaneously both powerful enough to be personally behind every Republican win of the past 20 years, and also so insignificant that we must be ridiculed and bullied at every turn to remind us that we have NO PLACE in their party they blame us for not backing.
The best part is that most of the time people hit both sides of the coin in the same comment.
What
Centerists, or people who voted for Biden in the primaries tell progressives and leftists we're minority viewpoints within the Democrat party. Implying that we have no business trying to influence the direction of the party. These same centerists also blame us when their garbage candidates don't win in the general election and tell us things like "Biden was a good compromise" or "You got pretty much everything you wanted" despite neither of those things being true.
Centerists got so comfortable winning elections on their own they forgot how to compromise and accuse anyone else trying to negotiate as "throwing a tantrum".
I can't decide if you're doing that on purpose.
I was there as a delegate it was literally stolen by party insiders, bernie had the popular vote for dnc candidate and super delegates and dnc chair decided to go with Hillary anyway...
i read this same exact bunch paragraphs earlier. why is it here again?
