  • You have this all twisted around in who knows what. They move to the center when they* lose*. They don’t move just because.

    Right now the left never shows up. Occasionally the Dems run in y a left platform and they lose. Think Gore, think Hilary saying she’ll have a map room.*After they lose" they go to the center to find voters. Now imagine they don’t lose every time they run on a left policy? Because the left never shows up.

    Occasionally the Dems enact a left policy. Think of Obama’s ACA. Thank Biden green energy… Their thanks for this is Obama lost the House of Reps, then lost the house of reps again, then lost both the house of reps and the Senate. Biden lost the house of reps, and polls shows Biden was going to lose. Not imagine they won after enacting left policy. They’re probably enact more. But the left never shows up.

    If the left wants things to change They. Have. To. Show. Up.

    Hide their agenda? They adopt what the people voters (the ones that show up) vote for. If the left voters show up, then guess what? More left policies will be adopted. C’mon this is civics for kindergarteners. You have this so twisted around to justify not voting.


  • You change their policy by giving them consistent and overwhelming victories.

    Rewarding then with victories? They never have victories. They have had control of all 3 of presidency, House of Reps, and Senate for 4 of the last 24 years. Or 6 of the last 32 years. Or 6 of the last 44 fucking years. They need all 3 to do much of anything and they basically never have it. So they go to the center to find voters. So try something new and give them actual victories.

    Do you notice you misportray again? You vote for change. Sure it might be a little change until the Dems are sure they can keep winning, but that’s how change starts. Like, see the original post again.

    Carter wanted to change things. And he got voted the fuck out.

    So Clinton learned to go to the center, and he won.

    Gore wanted to change things and ran on environmentalism. And bam he lost the election.

    So Obama learned to not say anything. He ran on vague hope. But he did the ACA. And what was his thanks? To lose the House of Reps, then again lose the house of reps, and then to lose both the house of reps and the senate.

    Clinton said she’d have a map room to fight climate change. And bam she lost the election.

    So Biden learned to stfu about environmentalism. And he won. But Biden did green energy anyway. And what was his thanks? Polls said he was going to lose.

    So Kamala also learned to stfu about environmentalism and pretty much anything progressive.

    That’s what the situation is. The Dems go to the center because everytime they look left they loose. How do you make things progress? By giving Dems consistent and overwhelming victories.

    Every time the Dems lose, they go to the center to find voters. Want them to stop going to the center? Then give them overwhelming and consistent victories.

    If you think you can change their platform by not voting or voting 3rd party, you’re dead wrong. They will just go to the center voter even more. This is not a Mexican standoff that you can win, because they have an out which is worth double (a center voter is both a vote for them and vote taken away from the other party).
