I'm not sure what causes people to blindly worship the party to the degree that they do...

It's because politics has become the new "religion" for most people. I grew up in a cult, and the amount of crossover in thinking is astonishing: "Our dear leaders couldn't have done anything wrong, it has to be everyone else that is wrong!"

There’s nothing stopping people from getting elected to the party and forcing change.

Except for, ya know, the Democratic leadership, demonstrably.

They got a lot of money by selling out their users. They are still getting a lot of money by selling out their users.

Wait, you mean the people that hoard all of our resources and don't pay taxes will leave? Oh noes! 😱 What will we do without them.....

LoL, that wasn't the original internet. That was years after the internet had been around.

I did read your comment. I saw you say that my examples didn't count, but you didn't give a good reason why they shouldn't.

Do you think 4 people are a lot?

No, those were just the ones off the top of my head. If you look up the data, you'll see a lot more.

Do you think a person from a city council is a good example of that wast amount of progressive voters showing an mass?

No, I think that's a good example of leftists voting, when a leftist candidate is on the ballot. You know, the thing that we were talking about.

Do you think a progressive candidate losing popular vote in primaries twice in a row is a good example of this abundance of progressive voters you're trying to convey?

No, which is why I explained that he got screwed over.

For someone who is accusing me of not reading your comment, you sure don't seem to know what I wrote in my comments.

So your argument is "Nu uh. The people who continuously get more votes don't really count" ?

lol, k

Yes they do. Leftists get votes all the time. Sanders, AOC, Sawant, Mamdani, etc all get tons of votes. Go look at the numbers.

Sanders lost the primaries because the DNC openly screwed him over, not because he didn't get votes.

Leftists are also voting, when they have candidates and policies on the ballot. But both parties are pretty openly against the leftists.

She was shoved down our throats, not chosen by the voters.

If I remember the polling correctly, a lot of people viewed Bernie favorably. He even polled better than Trump in the Red states.

But almost nobody viewed Harris favorably. They only tolerated her.

What is the gain? What is a single gain you think they have milked from their users?

But nobody pays for Firefox? Do you mean the "recommended pages"?

They get money from Google, advertisements, and selling data. Did you think Mozilla made it without paying their employees and executives?
