  • Yeah cuz I am too lazy to go look this shit up again because yall don’t care anyways and are gonna continue to try and fight the people who are trying to help.

    From studies I’ve seen before the election, progressive left literally votes for Dem more than any other ideological block for dems by % total (which includes non-voters).

    And sorry it’s been years but iirc it was like .4% for PSL and 1.1% for green? And then I think .5% constitution and like 4% for libertarian. You can go look up the numbers from like, even the 2016 election which was the largest 3rd party vote I think? Idr anymore. I just remember it being about 3-4x total for the right vs left 3rd parties put together showing the left really doesn’t have a 3rd party problem but that doesn’t stop the DNC from attacking it to stop people from wanting progressive policy since they refuse to run any. They’ve sued to get 3rd party taken off the ballot in a lot of states, while trying to say republicans are anti-democratic. (Which like duh they are too, but like… if that’s gonna be y’all’s message maybe don’t do anti-democratic shit like refuse to have primaries, give a “victory fund” to a candidate before primaries, and sue to remove 3rd parties from elections.)


  • Oh right I forgot “you have to vote who you think will win”

    So, you are wrong and voted wrong too.

    Did you think Harris could actually win? Really?

    And my point in saying they didn’t have policy is their literal ads sent to my house said exactly “nothing will fundamentally change” for Biden. And Kamala made it clear she was going to do the exact same shit as she refused to break from Biden on basically anything important. Sure they had policy but it was all fuckin garbage. The DNC lost because they refuse to do something to try and win. People don’t want to put up with “at least I am not a literal clone of Hitler, even if I’m just as bad.” People want a candidate worth voting for. That’s why I’ve heard tons of kids tell me their parents haven’t voted at all since Obama. Or other normie ass people I know have said the same. The DNC has shot itself in the face repeatedly since, and Biden honestly only won because his name was tied to Obama and people forgot he was tied to Obama to try and and anchor him to centrist ass bullshit, and that Biden not for progress or change at all. People refuse to keep voting for a race to the bottom in who can put out a worst candidate because that’s why we are where we are at.

    Look at NYC, that is how you energize the voting base.


  • I know it wasn’t the right Cheney sorry for sarcasm, but like, dude the DNC fucked itself, and has been since after Obama won. (At least they decided to change their stance on gay marriage so he could win re-election, last time we got any concessions from them.)

    The point is people need to stop praising the DNC like they’re infallible. They are the ones to blame. It is their job to make people want to vote and they’ve absolutely killed voter enthusiasm since Obama. Do you know how many normie ass people I’ve heard talk about how they haven’t voted since Obama because what’s the point?


  • You do know that third party is not the reason anyone lost right?

    Like the rights third party vote is like 4x the size of the lefts, most leftists do vote Dem. Y’all just love to foam out the mouth at leftists cuz you can’t not eat DNC bullshit trying to keep the party right of center. You treat the DNC like an infallible god and get mad when people criticize them for bad policy. But yeah, clearly it’s the .4% of the population who voted PSL’s fault that the DNC lost, definitely not the DNC who won big with Obama’s message of “change” and then decide to run with “nothing will fundamentally change.” Boy what a way to energize the voter base. Don’t worry, Dick Cheney will help!




  • Listen, I don’t have it in me to bother going back to find the research but a few things:

    1. Without any of the research, maybe don’t blame people for how they vote but blame the DNC as its literally their job to energize people to vote by having policies that make people want to vote.

    2. Without research, people voting for PSL/Green and still voting Dem/progressive down ballot is a whole lot better than the alternative of zero votes. Yelling at people they have to vote how you tell them isn’t gonna make anything happen. Let people vote how they want.

    3. With research, “Progressives” vote more consistently for democrats than literally any other ideological group by % total population of said group (meaning they looked at non-voters as well)

    4. With research, 3rd party leans HEAVILY right for votes. I forget the exact number but I think it was about 4x as many in libertarian/constitution compared to Green/PSL.

    5. Fuck off with attacking people who literally just… could not stand for voting to commit genocide? I mean you shouldn’t be attacking the left at all, but specifically people who morally refuse to vote for someone who wants more genocide? Really? Anti-anti-genocide isn’t far from anti-antifa. Which like, oof.
