You realize this path you’re barreling down leads to the death of the democratic party, right?

Stop, I can only get so erect.

Conservative dems aren’t going to draw any more votes, especially with people like you keeping the hate alive.

Of course conservative dems aren't going to get any more fucking votes. But that's the message abstainers sent to the DNC when they welcomed in the far-right fascist against the centrist ghoul.

The DNC isn't interested in fucking leftist organizing or the inner spirit of the fucking people, and it's pretty unlikely from their actions that they're going to suddenly realize that their 40-year-old conceptions of the American political electorate as fundamentally fluid instead of calcified are going to suddenly change. They're interested in what number of voters they can get to support them and their power.

If the message sent is "The right-wing is more powerful", the DNC will move to attempt to strip votes from the right-wing which acquired more votes than them. Telling them "No, move left after losing to the right-wing!" is claiming that leftists prefer the far-right to centrists - so why would the DNC try to court a demographic which they have no guarantee that they can satisfy to the point where they would be preferred even over literal fucking Nazis? And considering that abstainers display, by definition, no electoral support, and the PSL and Greens garnered sub-1% of the vote, how can one convincingly tell the DNC that becoming a left-party will make them successful, when much 'purer' left parties are already miserable, abject failures in this current electorate?

I'm voting for progressive and left-wing candidates in the coming primaries, and I'll campaign for them too. But our job has become much harder by letting Trump in, regardless of how 'pure' it felt to keep Kamala out.
