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.
Interesting… so that is why leftists consistently lose elections.
Zohran Mamdani, AOC, Rashida Talib, Ro Khana, Ilhan Omar, Bernie Sanders, and the rest of the progressives would like a word
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.
gets a list of popular progressives that win elections - “yeah but not like that, lemme move my goalposts real quick”
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?
She did way better than any leftists would’ve done. Just look at nations wide election results or the ratio of leftist candidates and voters compared to other ideologies.
But it is still true that if leftists don’t vote for the left most candidate that the government will slide right. That’s just how democracies work.
Bernie Sanders would have won all three elections he was cheated out of
He would never win a nation wide election. Pretending otherwise is pure copium.
Go visit some red states or rural areas of blue states and see how popular Bernie is.
Solidly blood red stater here. Plenty of people who voted djt/hrc said they would have gladly voted Sanders/hrc.
I’ve lived in red states all my life, Bernie was popular even among conservatives. You’re wrong.
I’ve lived in a red state all my life, Bernie was never popular among conservatives. They openly talking about killing him for being a socialist. You’re lying
I don’t care about your incorrect opinions.
Because you’re lying to yourself and the fact that conservatives vote for everything that is opposite of what Bernie campaigns on is too hard of a reality for you to accept.
