    If nobody votes for a leftist candidate then a leftist 3rd party candidate shouldn’t tip an election. The meme is suggesting that if the leftist candidate ran in the Democratic primary and won the nomination then the regular Democratic voters and the leftist voters who would have voted third party will all vote together for the leftist Democratic candidate and win.

      Gotta love how hard people pretend to believe things. No, the only numbers that exist aren’t 0 and infinity. And I don’t believe you needed to be told that, but you did need to have your bullshit called out in a way that sufficiently indicates what you’re expecting people to believe.

      Where do you see the meme suggesting that? It seems like you’re projecting an entire narrative which is not actually reflected in the content. It’s a convoluted interpretation. The “nobody” is a hyperbolic straw man, obviously Democrats know that some people will vote for leftists. It’s just that that number, while large enough to tip a close race, is nowhere near large enough to win a race alone.
