    What alternative did you provide them?

    You do understand that your approach to rhetoric is fundamental to why Democrats lost and Trump won?

            Or, and this might be completely revolutionary towards your thinking…

            Maybe how you approach politics is harmful and supports rightwing movements.

                a political moderate who supports democrats not right wingers.

                Oh! Like how Chuck Schumer makes is able to make the claim of being a political moderate! While dogwalking Democrats to break with the party to protect the filibuster.

                Of course. This is soooooo supportive of Democratic policy positions.

                Democrats are right-wing, liberalism is right wing. If we overlaid the political scale from 1980 and today, Democrats would be to the far right of Reagan.

                    Democrats focus on social issues like abortion and gay rights because it doesn’t impact profits, when they should be focused on economic issues like wages, housing, education, and healthcare. Focusing on people’s needs first will fix the social needs later

              I feel like “vote for the prevention of the accession of fascists” should resonate with more people than “let the fascists win to teach the DNC a lesson” did.
