    They do. Check out Mamdani, who had record-breaking voters turn out. Remember FDR? They voted so hard for him, that Congress had to set up term-limits. It turns out that this “Leftists don’t vote meme” is bullshit. Leftists just don’t want to vote for Right-Wingers, which is why they never show up for Democrats.

      People don’t vote, including leftists. Not voting isn’t going to make politicians shift left, either way.

        People demonstrably vote, including leftists. I also never said that not voting is going to move politicians to the left.
