right, the question is why. and if the argument, such as what pug -constantly- expouses, is that the progressives cost the democrats the election by not voting hard enough.
if you are saying that the non voters may not care either way, or are balanced on both sides or across the spectrum, then you essentially are claiming that progressives do not deserve a progressive canidate because they do not have enough people. which would mean arguments like pug’s, condemning progressives for the failure and NOT the DNC, is wrong.
the progressive voting block don’t deserve a candidate because they are too few to matter.
I am a progressive. We deserve a candidate. So fucking show up to the primaries next time.
Watching Bernie get a fucking quarter of the vote in 2020 was heartbreaking.
the progressive voting block not voting against their interest is why the democrats lost the election.
You do realize that the election was lost by under 2%, right?
Would you like to extend that logic, that any interest group that can sink a candidacy is also entitled to dictate to the party whatever terms it likes, and holds no responsibility for the outcome if the party does not sufficiently compromise with them, in their view?
If you want support from people, you have to give them SOMETHING besides just not being the other person. Continuing unyielding support for genocide (but maybe occasional giving them 10 bombs instead of 20) and telling people that human rights are for states to decide is the exact opposite of giving those voters ANYTHING.
you get to choose one, and only one:
the progressive voting block don’t deserve a candidate because they are too few to matter.
or
the progressive voting block not voting against their interest is why the democrats lost the election.
you can’t have both.
most of them dint vote, actually the younger voters for both sides voted less than millennials and older.

Wasn’t the question to explain that part?
I’ll start. The Dem platform did not promise to end capitalism immediately. They specifically planned to continue it.
