That’s not what you said earlier. Let me jog your memory. You responded to a comment which said:

I’ll support them so long as they run against a Republican who is much much worse.

Your response was:

As a vulnerable minority (trans) being targeted for active genocide by the Right, I really wish that WAS enough for Democrats to get elected

“Forget about families who can’t afford their health insurance premiums. Think about meeeeeee”

I’m sensing a theme here.

Socialized healthcare and worker’s rights would be what you get with incremental change. And I am a worker who intentionally kept her own wages low to stay on Medicaid so it does effect me.

So to be clear you already have socialized healthcare and you’re telling people who don’t that shouldn’t be their priority when voting for a candidate? Do I have that right?

Affordable housing? Gonna have to go full Luigi to get that one. It’s just not happening at the voting box.

What’s your housing situation?

Does all the stuff about socialized healthcare, workers rights and affordable housing just not affect you?

In an atheist, and explicitly this is against Israel doing what they’re doing

Then fucking act like it.

You can’t vote in the changes you’re talking about.

Neither can you.

Well I can see you downvoted my comment but didn’t respond. You’re only confirming my suspicions. At best you’re a Christian who’s been suckered into the whole “Chosen People” bullshit. At worst you’re Jewish or Israeli and consider American citizens obligated to support your people’s genocide of Palestinians.

Either way, you’re more interested in contorting reality to fit your worldview.

A real leftist would prefer incremental change

40 years of “incremental change” and we’re worse off than we were before. You need to pull your head out of your ass.

Anyway, everything you say can be turned around on you. A real leftist would prefer radical change over MAGA.

In other words, we lack the data to know if their ‘play it safe’ strategy is the one that results in the most votes, or not.

Zohran and Obama had ridiculously high turnouts. You’re giving establishment Democratic politicians a benefit of the doubt they do not deserve.

And you aren’t getting what you want from Republicans either.

It’s time for actual leftists.

My bias is in reality

Try again. How does this affect you directly?

But the reason they put garbage candidates forward is because they regard them as a safe bet, not too radical for some, not too weak for others. … they may be right…

How many more times does this strategy need to fail for you to stop saying “they may be right”. At what point do you say progressives and leftists “may be right”?

And I’m sure people struggling to put food on the table for their families while watching our government pay for Israeli lifestyles (and their genocide) wish the same from you.

I don’t see you speaking this way to people who vote for genocide supporters in the Democratic primaries.

Plenty of liberals think this is real.

Leftists are such suckers to this manipulation. I mean do you even have reasons for thinking Harris was so bad?

Supporting genocide is bad. Get that through your head and shut the fuck up already.

They don’t want her to win because it would be yet another condemnation on the DNC, establishment Democrats and liberal (read: corporate first, Israel first, ego first) policy. It would be embarrassing for someone like AOC to win after their big hitters losing to Trump and MAGA.

Hey look it’s another genocide supporter.

As a leftist I have a completely different take.

Obama’s campaign made me realize what it was like to have a politician work for my vote. All that “hope and change” rhetoric actually worked on me. Somewhere in his eight years in office I realized he was full of shit but it gave me optimism for the future. That optimism blossomed as I listened to Sanders speeches.

So when Hillary Clinton came along and started setting herself in opposition to Sanders and ultimately defeating him I realized Hillary Clinton and the entire Democratic party think they can just assume I’ll support them so long as they run against a Republican who is much much worse.

They’re wrong.

Republicans haven’t gotten stronger. The Democratic party has intentionally weakened itself because rather than serving the American people they want to serve corporations, Israel and their own egos.

When the DNC runs candidates who’s campaign promises are status quo, corporate subsidies and serving Israel then yeah, the bigot and sexist vote becomes significant. People need to stop using that as a condemnation of the country as a whole. It’s a condemnation of the two party system, a corrupt or derelict Democratic party or a “democracy” which is no longer functioning.

Meanwhile candidates who actually prioritize American voters can win without the help of bigots. Obama proved this back in 2008 and Zohran has proved things have only gotten better. Not only did he win without the bigot vote but without all the other piece of shit voters who showed up for Cuomo in the general election.

Harris was a garbage candidate. Biden was a garbage candidate. Hillary Clinton was a garbage candidate. American voters as a whole are not responsible for the abhorrent behavior by the DNC and assholes who vote for people like Biden and Cuomo in Democratic primaries.
