    Yeah you’re right, we should vote blue no matter who, even when the blue candidate does their best to appeal to right-wing voters. Surely this will have no bearing on the political leanings of democratic politicians in the future

      I used to agree, but after seeing how lefties will refuse to vote for the most pointless reasons, I can see why they thought that strategy was better.

      It wasn’t, of course, but I can see how their math said that.

        “lefties refuse to vote for Democrats* for the smallest reason.”

        probably because the Democrat party is not a Leftist party. Leftists owe the Democrats nothing as the Democrats have long been the center-right party.

        for the most pointless reasons

        You literally cannot imagine why anyone doesn’t love genocide.
