The dems though are the people who vote in the primary and work with their local chapters. Anyone can improve the canidate pool. The dems win some times though while the non dem liberals have never defeated a republican canidate. They just bitch about the innefective job the dems do while not getting the job done themselves.
You can’t work within a party that does everything to suppress progressive candidates. Even when progressives win, dems allow groups like AIPAC to unseat them even if it means putting a republican in their place. Or you have people like Nancy Pelosi who made it her personal quest to fuck over any progressive running in a pary, even if it meant propping up anti-choice shit bags like Henry Cuellar.
No, this is an issue of a culture of suppression within the democratic party, not the fault of progressives. The major, sustainable wins that do occur for dems in purple or red districts often come from progressives when they’re not kneecapped in their primaries and are actually supported by their party.
You can’t on one hand claim you want progress and then talk about how progress doesn’t get people to vote.
Even on the local level, Democrats will attack you and shun you if you don’t share their specific neolib agenda. I tried a couple times to get involved but if they find out you’re too progressive they’ll freak tf out about how they need people “serious about making change” or whatever and start pushing you out.
Like bro I just wanted to help make copies or wtfever you do here but OK I’ll go home lol
Huh…almost like the lesser of two evils is a losing strategy that produces loser candidates that their own base won’t come out and vote for, huh?
Almost like the insistance of dems on fielding these candidates has shown a repeating pattern of failure.
