      If this post can’t survive on a leftist echo chamber like lemmy without getting ratio’d then how are leftist supposed to do better than democrats?

        People who are liberals look upon the principles of Marxism as abstract dogma. They approve of Marxism, but are not prepared to practice it or to practice it in full; they are not prepared to replace their liberalism by Marxism. These people have their Marxism, but they have their liberalism as well–they talk Marxism but practice liberalism; they apply Marxism to others but liberalism to themselves. They keep both kinds of goods in stock and find a use for each. This is how the minds of certain people work.

              All in blue states and still a very small number relative to the democrats that can win outside of blue states.

              In other words they can’t win a nation wide election.

                  I like how you ignore the part where those progressives are only popular in blue states. You can’t win nationwide elections with only blue states.

                  Or are you trying to move the goalpost by pretending we aren’t talking about nation wide elections?
