Why is it that progressives consistently lose elections but talk like they know how to win elections?
If progressives know how to win better than democrats why do they keep losing elections?
We are in an echo chamber. Downvotes on lemmy do not reflect a real world consensus on opinions.
And giving people the choice between center right and far-right doesn’t motivate voters.
That choice was made by the voters.
Nah, they just cater to their corporate donors and folks that would never vote for them.
Because of Citizens United, this is a necessary evil. You either get donors or you lose from lack of funding.
Look at the progressives that lost recently because AIPAC out funded their competition.
Voters had to chose between two candidates, one on the left and one on the right. Voters chose the one on the right. Meaning not enough leftist showed up to vote.
Leftist don’t show up to vote > voters chose the option furthest right > leftists learn nothing, blame democrats and do it again next cycle.
This is why leftist keep losing elections and their legislation doesn’t get passed. They refuse to work with other ideologies and they don’t have enough voters to accomplish anything alone.
Democratic Party is made up of people the voters chose. Many of whom are moderate.
If leftists can’t get enough voters to change that, it won’t change.
Politicians don’t cater to groups that don’t vote.
What choice do we have? Leftists stayed home during the election because of gEnOcIdE. So now democrats don’t have enough elected officials to do anything. Thanks leftists!
Because they’ve won the majority of elections in the last 3 decades. They arent blaming voters when they lose. The voters that voted democrat are blaming leftists for not voting and getting Trump elected.
Democrats have been moving left since Obama. Leftist didn’t show up to vote this elections because of Gaza so they got Trump elected. So now democrats need to cater to the right to increase voter turnout.
