    If leftists are the smallest voting demographic then why don’t they try to appeal to centrists like democrats do?

    It seems like leftists do this to lose on purpose so they can just keep complaining without changing anything.

        Yep, and leftists are the smallest with the least amount of voting power.

        If they want to get leftist legislation passed without compromise they have to win over voters until they have enough numbers. Until they do that they have two options:

        1. Lose
        2. compromise for a win

        Attacking the democrats that give leftist a platform is a bad look and one of the many reason leftists are such a small unpopular demographic.

          So how does a demographic get together to make decisions in order to win over voters? They’re presented with two options, and have to choose, what should the deliberation process and decision making look like for a demographic? Is it different for the age 18-25, black, academic, leftist demographic?

              the leftist demographic is faced with a choice
              no I will not elaborate on how an entire demographic makes a choice

              just admit you used demographic wrong my guy it’s not that bad. I was actually trying to build to a larger point about you confusing base and superstructure but that probably won’t make much sense to you because I’m gonna guess you haven’t read much about political theory but whatever you got your cute clapback
