Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers III: The Wrath of Warren
Good lord...do you actually read what people say or do you just crib notes from a twitter account and find random spots to put them in posts.
The Party is the voters genius. If Biden wins he will win because the people voted for it. I know the Bernie Bros hate that because it goes against all of their BS arguments as to why he lost but that is how it works. If Biden wins and the Progressives choose to stay home it is their fault if Trump gets re-elected. (or if in 4 years a GOPer wins after Biden) This is ridiculous...its like arguing with a student in Frosh PolySci. You can argue theory all you want to, the accountability ultimately lies with the voter. I dont like Biden one bit and have been saying for now 6 years I dont want him to ever be President but I wont hesitate.
Yeah, the DNC, DCCC, the corporate media, other dems who give endorsements, and various other dem affiliated groups who constantly **** on the left and would rather work with people like Biden and Manchin and throw them $$$$$$ and media exposure, have nothing to do with the outcomes of elections. Which is why they do it of course, because it has no effect!
We've already seen plenty of examples where the DCCC and DNC put its foot on the scale to screw over a progressive and tell them to drop out of the race (Steny Hoyer is on tape doing this) or in Ben Jealous case where top democrats backed his Republican opponent. Even Biden did that recently in Michigan supporting a Republican in a house race when we desperately needed the house to flip. Yes ultimately it comes down to the voters but you're not gonna convince me that the people with more power aren't at all to blame for outcomes of elections because it's a ludicrous argument.
And Trump is President because of exactly what I said in the post you quoted BTW. The GOP supports the candidate 100%. That is why they win. The Dems need to start acting that way which means the Progressives need to shut the bleep up when they lose, show up and vote. Not take their ball and go home. This isnt about the overton window or Clinton (neither of which have anything to do with anything I said if you actually read what people say) it is about us vs. them. (that is what a Binary System is) You dont have to like Biden, the Centrists dont have to like Bernie, but if either wins you shut up and show up. The Dems dont do that, that is why the Dems lose. Basic strategy. Get it? If you do that puts you one step ahead of most people on the Far Left of the Party.
When the most powerful members of the dem party have actively shifted it rightward for decades, for mostly ideological reasons and lost a lot of their support, yes they deserve more blame than the individual voters when they become so unpopular that they lose in embarrassing fashion to a clown fascist. They have more power, influence, and responsibility than individual voters.
As for Nancy...
