I dunno who you think I am but I would advocate for trying to build the largest possible group, strongly leaning progressive/left. However the distribution is something like this 1112789 You can't have all the 1's excluding each other from the group when the 7 + 8 + 9 just want to say "r*****"
What the hell are you talking about
Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the 1st ball. The formerly 1st ball becomes the 2nd, the 2nd becomes the 3rd, & the 4th falls off the cliff. Time works the same way.
I think he's saying that a winning coalition can't just be hot people, you need to court the fugly vote too
Oooooooh yeah okay I can get behind that
He's claiming that the vast majority of people (unclear if he means all Americans or likely Dem voters) are on the "right-wing" side of things. He's just expressing it in a weird way. He's saying if there were 29 voters, 9 of them are on the far-right, 8 are slightly less right-wing, etc.
His logic is that the left-side (which in his estimation is 3 to 5 people out of 29) HAS to reach rightward in order to get a majority. Of course, this is all predicated on what I believe to be a false assumption; that most voters are right-wing.
Pretty much all opinion polling and studies on the subject consistently find majority to super-majority support for left-wing policy and that politicians generally think their constituents are more conservative than they actually are.
What's your theory of the case here Andy, why did this super majority let Trump in? Either I'm right about the purity tests or right about the population leaning right? What's the reason. They let Trump in to teach dems a lesson and it's NOT a facepalm?
FYI, you can just say you like fascism. You don’t have to come up with excuses as to why we need fascist candidates.
They weren't being offered a reason to vote by either party.
if you let Trump in because you were not correctly massaged to the polling station then you are culpable and don't have any claim to a moral high ground over me.
Bro do you literally have no life?
?
It's been over a day Like if you aren't arguing with people online what do you do with your life?
So no heat for the Dem candidate/campaign who are actually responsible for letting Trump in?
No, of course not You can't criticize them, they might get scared!!
Cool story man. If you want people’s votes actually earn them. When people explicitly tell you “if you support this genocide I will not vote for you” or “if you abandon this minority, I will not vote for you” and you just disregard that… well..
You realize that nearly everyone you’re arguing with voted for the democratic candidate right? And meanwhile you will not try to court people who don’t vote regularly. You gave us Trump. You are culpable.
People will choose to vote or not to vote for reasons that seem incoherent or nonsensical to people who are highly engaged with politics, such as yourself. This is a known factor in democratic elections, and not accounting for it is a failure on the campaign's part, not the voters.
If you refuse to compromise with the left but gleefully try to cater to the right you don't have a moral high ground over anyone.
i got beat by a dang cheetoh, because of the leeeeft!!!
if trump beats you, buddy you aint even trying
Lol, that's my point in a nutshell, yup
How many people don't see a point in voting ya dingdong
Yeah but they don't vote cause they too busy in-fighting. [Looks around]
I'm sure you have data that backs up this absurd claim.
What country you want to look at? I'm down for it, you keeping an open mind yeah? I will if you will.
He's got Dukat as pfp, he doesn't know what he's talking about either
That's what I was gonna say....💁♀️
How do you build a progressive/left group around right-wing candidates in a right-wing party?
This is both prima facie nonsensical and also I don’t think we should let people who use slurs in our coalition because our coalition would also have the people who they call slurs in it. You would probably understand why this is bad if you weren’t a moron grasping for power at all costs.
Just tell us which marginalized groups you're happy to sacrifice to make the bad orange man go away for a term
What?
