None of that has anything to do with primaries which is what we're talking about. The progressive left doesn't vote in primaries. We know they vote in the general at about the same rate as other ideologically driven voters. Nowhere do I defend establishment dems. I pretty exclusively tell everyone to vote in the fucking dem primaries for the most progressive option and then prevent republicans from winning in the general, usually by voting for the democrat since third parties are fundamentally non viable at the national level and will never have power so that's the only goddamn way that keeps republicans from putting everyone like me in a fucking death camp. But you faux fuckin leftists always say I'm supporting the establishment when I'm specifically telling you all the only way to get them out of power that doesn't involve tens of millions of deaths. But then most of you are just accelerationists anyways and aren't actually interested in protecting anyone.
