Turnout has been low for decades, and young people and progressives are some of the most unreliable voting blocs

If you never appeal to them, your party will wither and die as its current crop of geriatric dipshits goes to make hell a worse place.

It’s not even like a ‘politicians are duplicitous’ thing, it’s survival of the fittest: conservative Democrats have a much easier job entrenching themselves than progressives because their voters are older and more reliable, so over time this just selects for more conservative politicians.

Democrats do everything they can to block better candidates. The genocidal shit represents you, so you pretend that it represents the will of the people.

You need more voters to win. You know where they are.
