I voted Democrat in every single election since I turned 18, im 34 now, the democrats are not going to get us where we need to go.
Democrats don't fight hard enough, and they reach across the aisle to pivot right at every opportunity.
They would rather court never trumpers like liz cheney 🤮 than make concessions to their own base
Democrats don't want to win, they want to capture progressive momentum and suffocate it.
Your party is not entitled to our votes when you fail to deliver.
Merrick Garland ass motherfuckers telling me the left cant win.
Leftists consistently lose elections and have never gotten a single piece of legislation passed. They are a very small fraction of all voters and they refuse to work with other ideologies. This guarantees they will continue to lose and never get any legislation passed.
Democrats are better off working with centrists because they actually show up to vote. Unlike leftists who can easily be tricked into not voting in their own best interest by using hot topics like Gaza or whatever the current event is.
Damn apartheid is so hot right now
The left wasn't tricked, we're just sick of being taken for granted and having our concerns blatantly ignored. Your failure to make concessions and compromises with your own base is shooting yourself in the foot.
Lol good luck courting conservatives when the Republican party delivers so hard for their base, what the fuck do you have to offer to win them over? Nothing.
This is why the left consistently loses and never gets legislation passed. Democrats could explain there aren’t enough votes in Congress for them to get what they want but they aren’t smart enough to win on their own so how can they understand even such a simple concept.
Leftist can’t win elections so they have to leech off democrats’ success, dragging democrats down to their level of constant losing.
Honest question, why don't you try to moderate the Republican party towards centrism instead of trying drag the Democrats further right? I think its because your a conservative troll personally
Because I’m a leftist so I refuse to work with other ideologies even if it is in my best interests.
🤡
A fellow leftist I see
