Its mostly solid blue state leftists who refuse to vote dem. Them voting would literally make no difference at all in the national outcome, and when it would have mattered in primaries the democrat party decided they knew better anyway.
Unless you think all the people vocally refusing to vote dem are in swing states, your problem is with the rigged primary and electoral collage system, not leftist in places like california who dont want to support team blue.
That presumes a level of rationality in the electorate which is extremely questionable by the practical results we repeatedly see. Not helped by the fact that many of those who refrained from voting in swing states in 2024 did so, by their own admission, on the strength of left issues and the insufficiently left leaning of the Dem candidate.
For a group that constantly goes on about the importance of abstaining from voting as a means of delegitimizing the results of an election, they don't seem to realize, by your characterization, the value of the importance of demonstration of an overwhelming popular vote defeat of the 'winning' candidate as delegitimizing the results of an election.
What.
Fucking Christ, I don't know how many times I have to say this, but there can be more than one problem at once. Yes, really!
happy cake day!
Thanks!
Unlike elections, we're not forced to choose just one thing we can have a problem with.
