For the sake of making this easier I’m going to just assume you want things further left. So how do you get things further left? By giving Dems consistent and overwhelming victories. Because when they lose they have to go to the center, because that’s where elections are won.
So what do you as the informed left voter, that wants things to go further left, do? You vote for the Dems. You give them consistent and overwhelming victories. You don’t withhold your vote in protest thinking that the platform is magically going to go left. Because it’s not. When dems lose it’s going to go into the center. Because that’s where you win elections.
And when I say this you want to throw your hands up and say it’s all a fantasy. Seems very, very much like you just want to justify your non-voting. I hear this all the time from leftists on this platform, you (you didn’t actually say you vote for Dems) and many, many, many people that talk exactly like you.
You have this garbage system, and yet you totally write off disengaged voters as totally unworthy of any political attention.
I’m saying you win elections from the middle.
Wait you’re doing it again. You’re mixing up disengaged voters and the fringe protest non voters that are waiting for some big extreme left platform and are withholding their vote until that comes. Disengaged voters are by definition disengaged, they are effectively not voting ever. The protest non-voters we are discussing, the ones that are withholding their vote until they get some big extreme left platform are by definition on the fringe. JFC this couldn’t be clearer. Pretty much by definition going after these voters means you will lose the central voters. You are trading the central voters (the ones whose vote counts double because it’s a vote taken away from the other party and a vote for your party. And remember these are voters that actually exist, that actually vote, they are real). Okay start that again, you are trading the central voters (whose vote counts double) for this Fringe that maybe, possibly, perhaps, hopefully, perchance, could, mayyyyyybbbbbbeeeeeee show up. Do you understand that math? The math does not work out.
Do you want some recent history on that? Look at Hillary Clinton. She just went a little bit of tiny itsy bitsy left with the map room to address climate change. Trump came in and grabbed the center vote. Bam she lost the election. Btw so what happened to the horde of left voters that you think will materialize? They said “not extreme left enough, I will continue to withhold my vote in protest!” Yeah they didn’t materialize. So what do you think Biden did? Do you think he or any other politician will court these voters that didn’t show up? No they won’t, they learnt that it’s a losing proposition. They learnt that you win elections from the center, and that’s where they went, and that’s where they won.
system that just seems like bullshit to make rich richer and otherwise cause misery, and they just don’t see the point?
Lmao and you wonder why I talk like you’re the non-voting individual to make things easier. See what I said above about you the informed left voter can do.
I don’t know if I’m going to keep responding, it takes longer and longer to sort out your confusion, mixing, and refusal to see the actual central voters that actually exist. Everything has been said many times and I’m just repeating myself.
You probably shouldn’t respond anymore, since we are never going to understand each other. I assume that you are basically happy with the center and the political status quo.
If you can’t understand what I’m saying… Then you are sticking your head in the sand.
I understand what you’re saying, I just think it’s dead wrong and have explained why.
ah strawmans. That’s where you are huh. This is my thanks for explaining things. Is this where I address and explain even more? See how this just gets longer and longer? You are so mixed up and refuse to see what’s being explained.
Spend some time reading and rereading what I’ve said over the next few days. This is something you need to learn.
*Last line because mayyyybeeee you still can’t see it. When dems lose the go to the center, because that’s where they can win after they’ve lost. That’s why withholding votes does not work. And in contrast, when Dems win, they can go to the left. You want Dems to go left? Give them consistent and overwhelming victories.
I understand what you’re saying, I just don’t understand you. What strawman? I’m assuming that you’re happy in the center because that’s kind of how you’re talking. If you’re not happy in the center then ok. You and me consistently voting for centrists is not going to pull the democrats left.
The money (and the swing voter, apparently) is happiest with center-right policies, and if we vote “blue no matter who” that’s all we’ll get. So if the center (and the money) decide the elections, how will things ever move left? The minute some future dems start going left, they’ll lose the center, and with it the election.
There’s no way out of that dynamic without a lot of new voters to ensure victory for left policies, which I’m saying, dems are unlikely to attract with their center-right candidates and policy. Is this a chicken and the egg problem? Maybe, but it also seems like a lot of people are perfectly happy the way it is.
What strawman? I’m assuming that you’re happy in the center because that’s kind of how you’re talking
God why do I bother. You say what strawman and then say the the strawman. JFC. Me saying you win from the centre does not mean that I’m happy with the centre. JFC. Are you unable to separate this out?
And JFC I already explained. JFC. I’m gonna copy paste

Here’s part I edited so maybe you didn’t see it:

And in contrast, when Dems win, they can go to the left. You want Dems to go left? Give them consistent and overwhelming victories.
Little bit more:
They can go to the left when the win. Gore tried to go to the left, and then lost. So guess what, they went center again. He lost in part because of third party voters thinking third party will send a message.
Hillary Clinton tried to go to the left and then lost. So guess what, they went center again. She lost at least in part because of the stupid “non left enough, so I will protest no vote”.
So how do you move it left? BY CONSISTENT AND OVERWHELMING VICTORIES. IF GORE AND HILLARY HAD WON, then a) we would have had that left office, b) they could see that bit left wins, c) they could move even more left. But these stupid protest no-voters didn’t vote in protest. And guess fucking what, Gore and Hillary Clinton lost. And guess fucking what happens next? The next candidate goes to the fucking centre BECAUSE the previous candidate just lost.
So what do you as the no-vote protester do? And yes I’m saying you because you sure sound like one, and they all talk exactly like you. YOU VOTE FOR DEMS AND GIVE THEM CONSISTENT AND OVERWHELMING VICTORIES. JFC.
Protest no-voting does not work. In fact it’s counter productive because it just makes Dems lose. And like I have said many many many times, when dems lose they go to the center. JFC.

JFC. I already explained this too. I’m not looking it up, it’s in previous replies. Go read. It’s the whole fringe voting horde part. JFC I can’t even. And if I wasn’t clear enough in those I just clarified that it’s WHEN DEMS LOSE THEY GO TO THE CENTRE. JFC.
”I’ve tried nothing and I’m all out of ideas!"
Like bravo.
