MODERATORS
That's not the reason democrats are barely leftist in 2024- lobbyists funding both wings of the government are. Socialist policies take away power from the corpocracy, so companies put tons of money into making sure that's only a remote possibility -i'd argue there's even been a consistent effort across the aisle to keep discussion as limited as possible to two specific issues: gun control and abortion. Look into the ratchet effect it perfectly describes the situation as I see it.
It's a confluence of several issues. Lobbyists are only one of them. Fickleness, purity testing, apathy, all play a part too, and those are completely within your control.
Plus Leftists just aren't the majority. Most people are moderates. Y'all refuse to believe that.
So leftists are just suppose to omit they're own political philosophies and fall in line because moderates are the majority?
No thats the DNC's fault. You don't get to complain about voter turn out because ppl don't want to vote for a war criminal or that they have no faith in a system that actively fucks them and their way of life
I'm complaining right now, so I think I do.
You're all a bunch of spoiled children. It would be sad if it weren't for the fact that it's dooming our democracy.
Don't you see the democracy is already doomed? Being forced to vote for a candidate is not a voluntary choice. Your voice is mute - it's not a democracy.
All you "democracy bad" fucks should go back to Russia. Fuck you. We don't want you in our countries.
you're starting to sound like a spoiled child, like the ones you were complaining about. use your words, make arguments. show that you have the capacity for actual thought
or don't, nobody really cares
Blyat
see? no capacity for thought
either a bot or a teenager
