If every leftist voted in every Dem primary we'd have a leftist Dem party.

That's because a one dimensional metric is not enough to distinguish real distinct valid political beliefs. The actual division you have is really more like shaped by the money trail, the ignorant and fascists pandered to just to subvert the system and those who at the very least have to go the extra steps to play nice with the system because their votes are neither ignorant nor fascists, and there's plenty of oligarchs playing both sides.

Recently, brain drain from technology and far more effective propaganda campaigns that more effectively promote disenfranchisement from the educated have made one of these far more effective than the other.

That's not shroedinger, that's just logic. Hard concept for some people on here, it seems. For how well you understand right wing politics and tactics, it's suprising you believe that the "left" wing would be much different.

Let's say I need 51% of people to vote for me. I can get 41% with all the standard talking points of making things slightly less shitty. 10% I could get by shouting about the genocide in Gaza, but then I'd LOSE some from the 41%, because "I'm too extreme". In this scenario, the leftists are responsible, AND not significant enough to pander to.

When a nazi sees a conservative and a democrat on the ballot, do you think he doesn't vote, because the conservative didn't call for the gassing of Jews?

Most people are completely uninformed and just think Republicans = better economy. In the last election the people who sat out or voted 3rd party caused all of this with Trump, because apparently ruin all research including children's cancer research, gutting USAID, removing environmental protections and ruining the world while getting into 4 wars, while supporting Israel, is not worth voting for someone who supports Israel. Anyone who didn't vote in 2024 is in great part responsible for all the deaths in ukraine as well.

Thought I was gonna get in before the "my candidate was imperfect for me so I didn't vote so fuck everyone else" people.

Too late!
