“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”
That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.
Is your way any different though? It seems you’re just as convinced it’s your way or nothing. If the tables were turned, and a bunch of liberals were refusing to vote for a communist incumbent unless they had more neoliberal policy, would you agree that the communists should compromise?
Everyone’s self assured of their path being the righteous one. What actually makes them different though is if you’re willing to do the same if the tables are turned. If you aren’t, then why should you expect the same of your opponent?
There should be NO compromise with anything or any party that prefers capital over people. Democrats claim to support marginalized communities then vote for politicians that enact laws against the marginalized. Which translates to you dont have our back other than for social clout. I trust someone that hates me to my face over someone that does it covertly
And as a non white guy, I fear for my family more with the person who hates me to my face than the one who whispers about it behind my back.
Can you explain then why most minority voters tend to pick Democrats over Republicans? Or why black voters vastly preferred Biden over Sanders?
Black people were overwhelmingly supporting Sanders in 2020, thats why the DNC kneecapped him.
That’s not the case at all. It was one of Bernie’s biggest weaknesses
