      If this post can’t survive on a leftist echo chamber like lemmy without getting ratio’d then how are leftist supposed to do better than democrats?

        I don’t think leftists are supposed to get a say. It sure seems like that candidacy was railroaded. I assume it’ll keep happening until infighting stops. I’d rather see an election where the Harris’s of the world are considered conservative candidates.

        People who are liberals look upon the principles of Marxism as abstract dogma. They approve of Marxism, but are not prepared to practice it or to practice it in full; they are not prepared to replace their liberalism by Marxism. These people have their Marxism, but they have their liberalism as well–they talk Marxism but practice liberalism; they apply Marxism to others but liberalism to themselves. They keep both kinds of goods in stock and find a use for each. This is how the minds of certain people work.

              All in blue states and still a very small number relative to the democrats that can win outside of blue states.

              In other words they can’t win a nation wide election.

              Democrats have won the majority of nation wide elections since the 90s.

              Trump lost by a larger amount in 2020 than Harris did in 2024.

              If right wingers followed the leftist playbook of not voting Trump would’ve lost in 2024 too.

              Leftists are the smallest demographic of voters in a democracy.

                Your only concern is winning the election and not for advancing workers rights. Obtaining power then doing nothing with it is a lost election.

                Leftists are the smallest demographic of voters in a democracy.

                Yet liberals always come begging for our support, we are Schrodinger’s leftist, too small to matter and needed to win elections.

                  You can’t advance workers rights without winning elections first

                  Obtaining power then doing nothing with it is a lost election

                  Blaming the Democratic Party for the actions of the few that vote against their Democratic party is disingenuous.

                  Politicians can run as democrats when they aren’t.

                  Special interest groups can threaten, bribe or blackmail just enough to block legislation they don’t want. Then you scape goat the party that they voted against. It doesn’t make sense.

                  Yet liberals always come begging for our support

                  Anyone trying to win will reach out to anybody that can vote and try to win them over. This is how we know leftist aren’t trying to win or maybe don’t realize they are losing/unpopular because their own behavior.
