Also I'm not buying that voting for Democrats gets you incremental improvement. Maybe a slower decline, still worth it imo

honestly I can accept this too because yeah people can be corrupted or present themselves as something they arent but the effort still should absolutely be made. people who don't live up to it punish em by voting them out if constant pressure on their misdoings doesn't work.

I'll leave it alone at that.

What purity testing leftists think:
"Oh I'll not vote that way Democrats will be forced to move more left to get me to vote again. :smug:"

A Democratic candidate that lives in the real world:
"My more leftist policies aren't getting many voters out. I guess I'll have to more further towards the right to get votes"

I'm someplace left of Marx but it's pretty clear that's how real life works. Much like businesses will do literally anything they can to get the most money, politicians will do whatever they can to get the most votes. if this means sucking big business's dick and appealing to swing voters because the more leftist people aren't coming out to vote then they'll do it. That's literally what's happened over the years.

I don't know why this is suck a mystery to people. If you don't vote you literally do not exsist to the political system.

Any Democrat who thinks the smart strategy is to try to peel off republican voters instead of mobilizing the huge number of people who straight up don't vote isn't living in the real world and should probably in an assisted living facility

Also what more leftist ideas do they have

moving rightwards is literally what's killing the democrats. the conservatives aren't going to vote for a diet republican and the people who actually want left policies are then no longer interested in voting for them

Except for the part where campaign spending increases your odds of getting more votes. Getting cozy with business interests gets you more money. It's pretty clear that politicians think that they money they get for repealing the ACA will allow them to make up for the lost votes.
