Leftists understanding their own big tent philosophy challenge: impossible.
A party that refuses to support leftist principles does not deserve leftist votes lol.
It isn't hard to understand.
#GOPlogic
Wanting leadership that represents the people who elect them in a democracy is a crazy idea I know
Isn’t not wanting to work your whole life and still freeze to death under a bridge such an entitled attitude?
These two things aren't mutually exclusive
And the GOP manages to win elections, despite having policies that hurt 99% of Anericans. Its because republican politicians fear their base and say and do whatever dumb shit they think their constituents want (as long as it doesnt conflict with their corporate masters), whereas democrats loath their base and think its virtuous to stand up to us.
The reason for this is the republican base is used to making demands, whereas we cant say "doing fuckall to help us and also facilitating genocide is unpopular, youre going to lose to the couch" without libs screeching that we need to shut up and tell the dems we will vote no matter what or we secretly want republicans to win.
