Yeah, let the country collapse under Trump, that’ll show them! I keep seeing this foolish argument over and over on Lemmy. Not sure if Reddit was this infested with naive and/or Russian trolls.

If Trump wins, everyone who didn’t vote for Biden shares the blame. When the situation in the Middle East gets worse, you’ll be to blame. When LGBTQ people get even more targeted in the US, you will be to blame.

Weasel out of it all you want, but come November, there’s really k lot two choices vote for Biden, or (in)directly help Trump.

I still find it incredibly rich that Democrats never have to take any blame for their bad positions. It’s not even a considerable option that they actually capitulate to the voters.

You are literally victim blaming. How on earth can you act like they need progressives and then not throw them a bone at the same time?

Because the November election is not the place for that. I’d absolutely love the Democrats to move further left. First step is to make sure the current Republican Party can never win again, then, it will either collapse, or move more center to gain back some voters. As the Republicans move left, it would allow a further move left for the Democrats.

The best place to move left is with local elections, not the general election when both party candidates are already selected.

Every time progressives try to do anything, Democrats say that this is not the time and place for it seems like that goalpost keeps getting moved.

Always funny to watch people so eager to politically neuter themselves. But it’s natural selection I guess- people that can’t be politically pragmatic make themselves politically irrelevant. Thanks for the taxes though.

What are you talking about? Voting for a person explicitly because the other sucks is politically neutering yourself. It shows that you’re incapable of demanding for more. Now your voice doesn’t matter at all to the party. Notice how they are actually more eager to woo conservatives than they are you.
