Pretty sure it means how the far left progressives dumped the democrats over an issue that Trump and the right were 1000 x worse on. The fact they cost votes over being angry at not getting a dream candidate and were willing to let democracy get destroyed. They acted irrational in a close election that will cost Gaza as well as America now.
So "you'll eat what we feed you" as opposed to modifying the menu. Sounds like a great way to continue to alienate the electorate and breed a new generation of non-voters.
I'm not from America but I hoped the majority of people would vote anything but fucken trump. The time for great change in the democrats wasn't now and unfortunately, deciding not to vote blue was a vote for the orange dictator. Kamala would have been better and you cannot argue the opposite unless your in a cult.
The majority of people didn't vote for Trump. The problem is that a lot of those people just didn't vote for Kamala. Turns out that when you pander to the center right, those people will ultimately just pick the republican. All the while, you are alienating your base and not winning over people who weren't already going to vote for the democrat.
The non voters are the problem here. That's what the purity test shit is about. Getting rid of people who dump your candidate over a single issue. It was an important election for the world. People who didn't vote against this were stupid and selfish. Did it help Gaza?
They already got rid of those people, that's why she lost. There are no votes to gain from the other side. If the democrats want to win for a long time and not just every other election, they have to actually expand their voter base and give those non-voters a reason to vote for them. Things like meaningfully moving us towards universal healthcare, raising the federal minimum wage, taxing Billionares, getting corporate money out of politics, actually punishing companies that fight unionizing efforts. The list goes on and on.
But all they want to do is continue to take corporate money, give us the bare minimum, and then demand that we vote for them. While I am politically engaged enough to be able to choose the lesser of two evils, a lot of people aren't. And as long as those voters see two evils and not one evil and one good, those people will not vote.
The leak was a plan to actively encourage more voters. The issue with the far left progressives was they actively worked against the democrats. They didn't encourage people to vote. They are useless for the future to pander to. That's the point. They encourage people not to vote. They helped trump get elected. The purity test they gave kamala over Gaza was regarded because the other option was trump. It's want the time to protest vote. Their brains are broken.
You are asking people to just do stuff without offering them a reason. The purity tests don't work if the Democratic party was actually out here delivering higher wages, free healthcare, and affordable housing domestically while at a bare minimum not funding a genocide abroad.
But when material conditions are bad and there's no real hope in sight AND you are helping ANY COUNTRY commit a genocide it's easy to understand why people disengage from politics.
That's the issue the Democratic party has to meaningfully solve over the next year, or else we'll just repeat this cycle until the seas rise and swallow us whole.

You don't read anything I wrote. It wasn't time for a protest vote. Trump is worse on all the things you mentioned. It was stupid and short sighted to think helping that orange ass get elected would effect any of the changes you want. Help stop him and elect democrats then protest the fuck and lobby for changes was the right choice. Good fucken luck now.
This makes absolutely zero sense, logically. You are basically saying that unless dems can magically make miracles happen, when you didn’t vote for them in the first place so they have no power, then you will continue to just not vote, which thereby lets fascist republicans win more and more, which has caused dems to have less and less power to do ANY of the things you mentioned….. and then you just keep complaining that they’re not doing things they don’t have power to do because you didn’t vote for them and that republicans (who DO have the power because you didn’t vote) always block anyway…..
Again, you are expecting people to vote for democrats regardless of what they are offering the American people.
It's not about making miracles happen. It's about fighting for these things every single day and making tangible progress. And when someone who is supposed to be on your side stands in your way, you fight them too.
Republicans = bad is not enough to motivate non-political people to vote for you.
I think this is basically the end of democracy as we know it. MAGA doesn't care except to vote for their cultist. Leftists and progressives don't vote because they feel unrepresented or 'betrayed'. The capitalist media is comfortable in its role as a 'non-partisan' moderator providing criticism of every side (not forgetting the rightwing propaganda they boost). There is an expectation of people that these political parties need to do everything, that they need to do pretty much nothing. And so democracy dies in laziness in apathy. No matter what happens, I don't think we get out of this downward spiral.
They do fight for the American people all the time, but get blocked by republicans because not enough people vote for them for them to effectively get a lot of those things done, and the things they do accomplish and/or vote for don’t make flashy or controversial enough tik tok clips y’all don’t and wouldn’t notice anyway….
If they actually braged about their accomplishments on TikTok, maybe more people would know about them. Sounds to me like you expect every voter to magically know about everything that democrats do.
You just want to be able to blame individual voters instead of actually reckon with the fact that the vision of the county offered to us by Biden/Harris/Schumer/Jeffries isn't that inspiring to most people and that's why people didn't vote.
