Well biden won by 20 mil and then those votes went away and didnt even go third party. So seems like disenfranchisement than country moving more than moving right.
Which democrats let happen without pushback
It's also extreme disillusionment. Everyone is checked out and realizes Democrats are genocidal frauds now
Well that's the truth but at least vote third party. If im right then dems will follow the votes. They see 29 mil suddenly happen for third party ill bet my hat they will change tune. Im convinced they go right cause those are the people that vote.
You do realise that it's a big part of a politician's job to mobilise the masses to vote?
historically speaking people with power are dumb dumbs and/or go for low hanging fruit. Hence DNC courting all those republicans voters in last cycle. Old ppl vote more comparatively.
You worldview is fundamentally an anti-human dead end with no path forward
So voting dnc as a stop gap and promoting progressive candidates is anti human and no path forward? What am I then pro dinosaur?
You've basically already accepted defeat. You're admitting that the DNC will keep moving to the right regardless of our actions, and also that we have no alternative than to vote for them anyway. Have you game theoried that out to see where that ends? That's why I call it a dead-end.
