    Why would the democratic party listen to anything you have to say if they know you’ll vote for them regardless?

      I don’t understand this logic when we saw the influence sanders had on liberal US politics without even being elected president. The party looks completely different from 10-15 years ago. We can move the needle.

      Of course it’s not enough. I doubt it ever will be. But it sure does change and I have seen the results first hand. We all have.

      You need to go take a civics class and stop trying to suppress the leftwing vote. Do you expect anyone to sit down and explain to you how campaigning for issues works? Do you expect us to list every decent win “the left” has gotten the last 5-10 years?

      What have you gotten accomplished? What have you even participated in?

      Just because you sit in a basement unplugged from reality, doomscrolling, doesn’t mean the rest of should sit here and take advice from you. You admit you just want fascism faster.

      Bad-faith, accelerationist, useful idiot. If it weren’t so cliche I’d call you Vlad.

        That was a lot of words to not even attempt to answer a very simple question

        Bad-faith, accelerationist

        I like the self awareness displayed by calling me bad faith and then immediately reiterating the thing you just made up about me and decided was true based on what seems to be a deliberately bad interpretation of my original comment.

      How do you think a political party comes up with ideas in the first place?
