And yet there are more than enough that you expect the Democratic party to bend the knee to you?
They had no problem bending the knee to Republicans. Republicans didn’t turn out to vote for them and you blame progressives for that strategy failing.
I consider myself a progressive. The genocide in Palestine is a big problem for me
What complete and utter horseshit. You’ve spent the past months cheerleading everything the Democratic Party did to support your boy Netanyahu and screaming abuse at anyone who dared to suggest that they even think about slowing that support. Now that your strategy of “support genocide for the love of it” has FAILED to peel off any Republican votes, you blame progressives.
I resent being lumped in with liberals
I’m not lumping you in with liberals. I’m lumping you in with Republicans who want Democrats to keep moving right and losing.
But I also understand that progressives are a small minority of voters in the US, and am not deluded enough to believe that Democrats will pander to me when it makes no tangible difference come election time.
Democrats pandered to Republicans during this last election cycle. They lost. Republicans will never vote for Democrats. Democrats would rather pander to them than give progressives the time of day.
If Democrats don’t consider progressives a significant enough constituency to listen to, they don’t get to blame us when they lose. Democrats should blame themselves for chasing Republican votes they’re never gonna get.
It doesn’t matter how many people agree with progressive policies when you ask them
It certainly doesn’t when no party listens.
Where is the Green Party?
I don’t care. I never supported them.
Why is it that progressives can’t seem to organize a real political party if there are so many of us?
Why are you blaming progressives for Democrats’ loss when there aren’t enough of them to be worth listening to?
And stop lumping yourself in with progressives. Progressives don’t cheerlead genocide. Progressives don’t advocate moving to the right even after it loses elections.
Democrats bent over backwards to represent Republicans last election. It cost us all dearly. Why don’t you want them to stop?
