    We’re going to have to disagree.

    I think it was to find voters. At the end of the election they count votes, not donations. If all these left wing voters people that I see on this platform were to actually vote, then wow that would have an effect. But instead they think protest 3rd party or protest no-voting works, when it doesn’t. All these supposed informed, logical voters people that are just waiting in the wind for that left platform and then they’ll vote. Donations don’t sway these people, they want the big left platform, which won’t appear because they don’t show up and vote.

    So what can voters do? Vote for the dems. If you want things to go left, then vote and give dems consistent and overwhelming victories.

      I mean I’m voting for Biden Don’t get me wrong. And I think protest voting is a petty act of rebellion that doesn’t really help.

      But I also think acting like your entitled to votes rather than needing to spend effort turning out your base, is also a wrong view.

      I guess I’m saying both Hillary and protest voters caused what happened in 2016. As well as the DNC betting on an establishment candidate when the pulse of the country was obviously sick of that shit.

        Entitled? They try to move a little bit left and they fucking lose. They aren’t going to go further left lol. What’s that definition of insanity? Doing the same thing and expecting different results lol. In this case it’s doubling down and expecting different results - not going to happen. They’re going to go to the center to get those votes.
