People would listen if they actually showed up. If leftists are so numerous then it shouldn’t be a problem to get many candidates elected. See mamdani. But in general they do not.
So either that many leftists don’t exist or their policies aren’t actually that popular OR theyre too lazy or ideological to go vote.
Either way, it ensures “establishment” candidates go on to the general election.
The only time your voice matters is in the voting booth. Far too many eschew that.
Yeah…if that were true leftists would have the numbers and get people on the ballot. Or you’re just admitting that leftists are not nearly as numerous as you claim.
Again- look at Mamdani. Over 25% of voters hadn’t voted in a primary in over a decade. They finally decide to do so and ta da, a leftist wins the primary.
Oh, you mean when they finally get a leftist to vote for, they show up to vote? Crazy. Who could have seen that coming?
Leftists demonstrably vote, but not for right-wingers, so the DNC should probably stop kicking leftists off the ballot, and stop running right-wingers.
The only thing leftists have in spades are excuses.
I wish you people would put up or shut up.
I say this as someone who WANTS those policies but of course the entire world is against leftists somehow and youre never short of reasons why you lose so goddamn often.
Not “anything” the Democrats will do, just the great, vast majority of things. Like running terrible candidates, on unpopular platforms, screwing over the voters, fighting to keep popular politicians and polices from getting on the ballot…
Yeah it’s going to be Newsom vs Vance and the left will scream that it should have been Bernie and that they’ll be voting for Jill Stein.
Then maybe we should offer the left a candidate that they’ll vote for. It’d be a nice change of pace.
The progressive party offer a progressive candidate? How absurd.
Usa has a progressive party???
Almost like this has happened before but the Dems will intentionally not learn from their previous mistakes
According to the left anything the democrats will do is a mistake.
I like how the left sidesteps that whole issue by not running anyone.
Leftists have been very clear about why the Democrats are failing their voters. A party that supports Capitalism can not support workers, simple as.
You can start listening to them and stop trying to bully them into submission any time you feel like engaging in reality.

Lefits show up and vote all the time. But the DNC keeps pushing them out of the race, so that they don’t get on the ballot.

Honestly this is a good reason why the left is and will always be mostly ineffectual as a political movement.
When you’re not fighting yourselves over who’s the most ideologically pure you’re spouting shit like this.

No, it’s going to be Newsom against Donald Trump Jr. , In an epic battle of Kimberly Guilfoyle’s exes…
(Yes, she was married to Newsom, and then engaged to Junior for years before they split up)
Do you think that’s news?
