Vote for the change you want to see.

The Republican party got remade because trumpists showed up and outvoted the party elites. No reason it can’t happen for the Left except for laziness and apathy.

If all the progressives furious about the state of affairs now had shown up for Sanders in 2016, I doubt we’d be in this hellish timeline. Sadly, he needed the young progressive vote to show up.

    Maybe - and yeah this is fucking WILD but hear me out - maybe Leftism just isn’t as popular as you think it is?

      Usually, leftist politics, like cutting taxes for wages and raising taxes for the rich is quite popular.

      And sorry that I’m judging a party for not being leftist when its’ name is literally “social democrats”. /s

        People are stupid. They like Leftist policies, but as soon as a Leftist says them, they hate it.
