It’s interesting that you think “Leftists” comprise tens of millions of votes. I’m flattered, but I don’t think enough people came to the last DSA meeting to make that the most likely possibility.
Most all of the terminally online voted. Nonvoters aren’t here arguing about politics on Lemmy. Leftists have been screaming for months that if the Dems don’t make improving the lives of the working class their main focus, people aren’t going to come out. I wish we had more political engagement too, but sarcastic comments about how people should be more strategic doesn’t seem to be a viable get out the vote strategy. Maybe we should try making people’s lives materially better.
I don’t understand the “we were to small to matter” argument I’ve been seeing. If that’s true, why on Earth would you expect to matter enough to move the Democratic platform, or to shape society after leftists “burn it all down” (whatever that means)?
Alternative major candidate not left enough? I’ma let the extreme right win in that case, it is for everyone’s benefit!

The vast majority of internet ““leftists”” are MAGA trolls trying to divide.
A McCarthyist says what?
