    Oh did I ruffle your feathers so you have to attack me? We did not have President Gore. You realllllyyyyyy don’t want to deal with this huh. You look to blame everything rather than admit the 3rd party voters cost Gore the election.

    misguided policies Dems

    Lol Everytime they go a little bit left they lose the election. I’m clued into how you deal with that now: you try to blame everything rather than admit the voters that didn’t show up.

    I think I’m right on the money with that too, because you are clearly thinking about that exact word “blame”. I’m saying the voters didn’t show up, or they voted 3rd party, which costs the election. You can kinda say that’s blame but it’s not nearly the extent you go.

    You’re running around everything (Gore, policies, funding to the point you call it a bribe lol) trying to blame everything on the system or the Dems or whatever.

    Blaming voters for actually exercising their right to vote is wholly undemocratic.

    Yeah not the same as “undemocratic”. This is why I think you’re fixated on blame, you’re now extending this to “undemocratic” so that you can blame me. Quite enlightening now that I see that.You can vote however you want. You tried something similar last time when you put words in my mouth.

    What I’m saying that if you want things to go to the left, if you want your vote to be productive, if you want your vote to move policy to the left (over time), if you want your vote to move the Overton window, then this is what you do: you vote for the Dems. If you want things to move to the left, you give Dems consistent and overwhelming victories. Because when they lose they go to the center to find votes.

    I’ll double check to see what chain this is, I gave a history that you should read. Ah l’ll just give it https://lemmy.world/comment/10617871
