No argument from me, I think leftists should caucus with neo-libs and stop virtue signaling through non voting or going third party. If we focused on practical actions, Democrats would get that 80-20 blowout and stop ignoring the left. It's the idealistic non-voters preventing that blowout, doing look at me.

No, it's the people voting for the lesser evil for 30 years preventing it. Yall shouldve just all voted republican en masse in 2000, or 2008. One decisive loss. Too late now. Trump is back with a narrow win come November. I don't think Americans understand what a protest vote really is,

That's crackpipe logic. How exactly does that help anyone? That just pushes Dems further towards the Overton-blasted center to try to scoop moderates. This train of thought makes zero sense, and betrays a profound ignorance of the American political landscape.

It's not. These very close races is what did that.

Homie I'm not gonna "Nuh-uh" "Yuh-huh" your unfounded hypotheticals. Your assertions need more substantial justification than your personal vibes, which you have not even begun to provide.

looks at what has happened over decades dude give your head a shake and think. Parties don't change strategy till it quits working. Democrats have never run hard left candidates because yall kept voting for center right candidates.

Read a book, look at some other countries parties, expand your horizons, or just wallow in your own ignorance.

I have, which is why I have based my perspectives on that evidence. You're proposing pure unsubstantiated conjecture. Take your own advice.

Stfu, this is politics not physics, and you obviously haven't considering what you've been saying.
