    And maybe they would run more Progressive types and shift back Left but why should they bother right now?

    Because they’re losing without us.

      Because you will never be happy anyway. May as well shift right and try to push towards the perfect Nqzi candidates like MAGA.

          Having read their comment, probably “because every Democrat didn’t 100% say “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine”, then now all Democrats are evil and should never be supported.”

          That’s them observing progressives disagree with a party stance then refuse to vote for the party over that single issue. The extrapolation is that progressives are more likely to become single issue voters, therefore more difficult to cater to, therefore maybe not worth the effort from the party’s perspective.

            Help me understand your comment. Are you suggesting if we voiced disagreement with more than one issue with Democratic politicians then the claim that we “will never be happy anyway” would be unfounded?
