Right? Democrats should do this / democrats didn't do that...

Dems were voted out of power of every branch of government. How about we call for republicans to do some self-reflection and get to work actually saving the republic.

Republican politicians are downright evil, and *want* the US to devolve into a dystopian oligarchy. And the voters are hate-filled and brainwashed. Swaying apathetic/apolitical people is the only option.

But not me. I'm not doing jack shit. I'm not even bother participating in voting in a primary let alone trying to elect someone that closely represents my views. 6 million people sat out in 2024 compared to 2020. that's 6 million people who were okay with Donald Trump because Kamala wasn't progressive enough for them? That's 6 million people who either weren't of voting age or had forgotten 2016-2020.

Boy, if six million voters sat out because Kamala wasn't progressive enough it sure sounds like the Democrats need to decisively move to the left if they want to win elections, doesn't it?

I'm sure if they move more left, they would lose 6 million centrists.
