Part of why that strategy lost to Donald Trump twice now is because the Republican propaganda machine, including Russian state actors and Cambridge Analytica levied a massive campaign against the Democrats. And its largest push was to get Americans – black Americans specifically – to not vote. Tens of millions were spent discouraging voting.
So regardless of what you or I think, the Republican strategists that decide how to budget their campaign believe Democrats voting is pretty darned important. Perhaps that’s why voter suppression is central to the Republican platform: if more people vote, Democrats win. If fewer people vote, they win.
I do agree with you. It’s not enough for Democrats merely to campaign harder (as Biden advised soon after his presidential victory). And I admit I don’t have all the answers, but this single graphic is not the sum of my effort.
If I preferred MAGA to far-left politics I wouldn’t be looking for ways to aid the resistance at all.

On the contrary, if you prefer MAGA the best way you can help them is spend all day deflecting responsibility away from liberals and their failures. Thereby allowing liberal voters to show up to future Democratic primaries to vote for more pro-corporate trash guilt free.
At what point am I deflecting responsibility away from liberals? Saying voting is important is different from saying one needs to do more than merely vote.
The left may, in fact, be unable to organize due to internal differences.
I already called you out for it.
You’re speaking as if there’s equal blame here. There isn’t. Liberals have treated leftists like second class voters for decades rather than making real concessions. They’re calling all the shots and that means they own all the responsibility.
You’re trying your best to deflect away from this. And I can only assume it’s because you want people to keep showing up to the Democratic primaries to vote for strike blocking, genocide supporting trash like Clinton, Biden, Harris and Schumer.
If that isn’t your intention then let me see you say it: “Registered Democratic voters need to stop showing up to Democratic primaries and voting for strike blocking, genocide supporting trash like Clinton, Biden, Harris and Schumer.”
The Republican party is dead set on ending elections altogether and installing a one-party autocracy. What we have is bad, but it’s not as bad as it will get once the parties don’t have to compete for votes.
So long as its possible to vote out Republicans by voting for Democrats, then voters need to be voting for Democrats, even if they block strikes and do nothing about genocides abroad. They might be bad but their Republican counterparts are far worse.
Are you refusing to say “Registered Democratic voters need to stop showing up to Democratic primaries and voting for strike blocking, genocide supporting trash like Clinton, Biden, Harris and Schumer.”?

Just like the democratic party with primaries. Don’t want the voters you hate to be allowed to vote against the genocide you want more than anything else.

Shit like this bud.
