Making leftists feel bad for not supporting a flawed moderate democratic candidate actually worked in Virginia. Northam got a 7% higher margin from self-identified liberals than Clinton did, 92/85. Half the liberals who were too pure to vote for Clinton or who wanted to send a message to the perfidious democratic establishment realized their error.

Y’all are in a small and rapidly shrinking group.

Bernie Sanders is still the most popular politician holding office in this country, and you couldn't project harder if you were a drive-in movie theater. You are the 8%ers. You are the people who can barely control the sneer when they read stats about how disenchanted younger generations are with capitalism.

It sucks to be you, and will not stop sucking until you realize it.

Yes, clearly the lesson to take from an election where a high-ranking GOP politician lost his seat to a socialist is that centrism is on the ascent.

Or maybe the downballot propelled Northam to victory, you disingenuous poo poo :rolleyes:

I don't think this is true, but all I really want is for everyone to pick one of:
1) Leftists are too small to cater too, so don't cater to them, and don't act surprised or worried when they don't vote for you
2) Leftists are a group we need on board, so make actual concessions to bring them on board, like not running candidates that support racist, Trump-approved policies

This whole "you're too small to be worth talking to, but it's also really important you vote for us so we can enact marginally less racist policy" thing is tiresome.

Sure, he’s just as popular as Joe Biden. Bernie also thought leftists should bite the bullet and support flawed moderate democrats in general elections so he’s not part of the group I’m talking about.

This is an impressive reading fail here. I’m not touting the success of centrism. I’m touting the success of shaming leftists into voting for the lesser evil in a general election rather than protest voting. The population of leftists who refused to vote for the moderate democrat at the top of the ticket shrank by half between ‘16 and ‘17 in Virginia.

So you're going to stop caring about leftists who don't vote for racist Democrats any minute now?
edit:
Like if you're correct and leftists are too dumb to demand concessions, and they will just vote for the racist anyways, I understand why you wouldn't offer concessions like not running racists, but in that scenario you should stop caring about leftist votes since you've wrapped them up anyways.

No, I’m just happy to see that leftists who fight like hell for their views in the primary and then vote for the winner in the general outnumber leftists who would throw elections to republicans if they don’t get their way by a substantial margin. And I’m happy that margin is growing.

Yes, clearly a sign that the left, which made massive gains in these elections, has been successfully cowed into submission by the savvy centrist political consultancy crowd.

This is not an accusation I have ever made. Why would Russia need to pay people to troll here? Plenty of people are happy to do it for free.

Is your reading comprehension really so abysmal that you think I’m claiming to have personally convinced the leftist electorate in Virginia to vote for the lesser evil?

Also, that’s not what puppetmaster means, friend. If I tell you you’re a moron to vote third party in a swing state because that benefits the republicans, and you listen to me and stop voting like a moron, that’s not puppetmastery, it’s persuasion. Perhaps one day this will be more clear to you if you ever have the luck to formulate a persuasive argument.

Post? What post? Oh wow.
I had nothing to do with THAT.
Let's just be clear on who Joe Biden is, since he's been mentioned

quote:

On economic issues, there is a kind of cognitive dissonance between Biden’s persona and his policy prescriptions. In Chicago, “Middle Class” Joe, as he repeatedly referred to himself, vigorously defended the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which has aptly been described by Senator Bernie Sanders as “part of a global race to the bottom to boost the profits of large corporations.” For Biden what is important is that the TPP would have allowed the United States to “have written the rules of the road [as to] what constituted fair trade,” never mind the effects the agreement would have had on American workers.

This isn't a remotely logical conclusion. The really obvious explanation for Democratic victories post-Trump is just a combination of anti-Trump sentiment driving people to the polls (mostly this) and getting back people who were specifically unhappy with Clinton (yeah there's not really any logical reason for someone to be opposed to Clinton and okay with Northam, but a bunch of people had specific animosity towards her). It also involves the bizarre assumption that a significant portion of the people who voted for Northam and didn't vote for Clinton were leftists, when there isn't really any evidence showing that leftists didn't vote for Clinton at rates higher than any other potential Democratic voter subgroup.

It's funny how you're fine with making completely baseless claims as long as they support your bizarre obsession with making contrarian posts towards the left, yet demand the most stringent proof for anything someone on the left says.
