      It’s not even true, the real issue on the left is getting turnout motivated

      Posts like this are meant to reduce turnout

      Edit: dems that didn’t vote this last election ARE how we got here. This meme is just plain dumb

        My own dem governor is throwing people like me under the bus, the entire democratic party is adopting genocidal rhetoric and policies to embrace a non existent center. Please sincerely fuck off with this garbage blaming the left. No amount of voting for people that hate me is going to improve my conditions or stop the fascists from wanting to exterminate me. Do not fucking talk down to me.

        Also I am not and never will be “a dem that didn’t vote” I am a communist and I am painfully aware of the fact there is no way to stop fascism just by voting for those who openly state their desire to preserve the capitalist system that gave rise to and is giving rise to and always will give rise to fascism and Nazism.

        Blaming millions of of working class people in the democratic base over the small amount of policymakers in the DNC leadership. Who chose to run to the right on almost every issue in an attempt to gain the votes of the mythical ‘moderate conservatives’.
        Including supporting a genocide unpopular with the public as a whole(Poll from March 27, 2024: https://news.gallup.com/poll/642695/majority-disapprove-israeli-action-gaza.aspx and the numbers were even higher when you selected for people more inclined to vote for the democrats) which would obviously suppress voter turnout among their left-leaning base

        The DNC being beholden to their Megadonors and PACs over the working class base, and running on a triangylated center-right platform instead of on policy that would materially benefit the base at the expense of the Megadonors profits Is how we actually got here

        You can’t browbeat people working 40+ hours a week living paycheck to paycheck to the polls, with ‘lesser evilism’ and asking them to swallow their morality to vote for a party directly arming genocidaires,
        the DNC needs to radically change their platform leftwards to energise the base to get out the vote even if it’s at the expense of a fraction of their Megadonor’s profits if they actually want to win

          This shit always pisses me off so much. Nobody is deciding whether to vote or not based on shitposts on an extremely niche internet forum.

            Dems were pushing hard on genocide, it was ramped up significally under Biden too.

        Alraight, this is pissing me off. Why in the fuck should I vote dem if they embrace the genocide against me and my people as soon as they have any damn pressure? They have this coming election in the bag, why are they trying to be “culturally normal”? Ill tell you why, they are not our friends, voting for them only makes you feel good because your vote is colored blue. You are a part of the problem because to you this is just a game, but to me, I aint playing. This is life and death for people like me. FU lib.
