    No I’m saying that leftists and progressives that don’t vote in primaries are helping republicans, because they are.

      They do vote while the establishment dems you defend are going to the media wing of the fascists fox news to attack any progressives and leftist and to capitulate for the republicans.

      Leftists and progressives are among the most engaged in elections unlike your claim https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2021/11/09/political-engagement-among-typology-groups/

      The typology groups at either end of the political spectrum, Faith and Flag Conservatives and Progressive Left, are also the most politically engaged – that is, they voted at the highest rates in the 2020 presidential election, and they are most likely to say they post about politics on social media and that they donated to campaigns.

        None of that has anything to do with primaries which is what we’re talking about. The progressive left doesn’t vote in primaries. We know they vote in the general at about the same rate as other ideologically driven voters. Nowhere do I defend establishment dems. I pretty exclusively tell everyone to vote in the fucking dem primaries for the most progressive option and then prevent republicans from winning in the general, usually by voting for the democrat since third parties are fundamentally non viable at the national level and will never have power so that’s the only goddamn way that keeps republicans from putting everyone like me in a fucking death camp. But you faux fuckin leftists always say I’m supporting the establishment when I’m specifically telling you all the only way to get them out of power that doesn’t involve tens of millions of deaths. But then most of you are just accelerationists anyways and aren’t actually interested in protecting anyone.

          You keep repeating the same unfunded bullshit. The establishment dems you defend are going to the media wing of the fascists fox news to attack any progressives and leftist and to capitulate for the republicans. You always shift the blame from your own failure

            Point out the comment where I defend establishment dems. Because I’m pretty sure I keep telling you people to vote in the fucking primaries where you can vote them the fuck out but you fucking faux progressives don’t vote in the fucking primaries, no you go out of your fucking way to discourage voting entirely which helps fucking republicans and I’m sorry you don’t have the capability to understand this simple fuckin reality. If you don’t vote in the primaries you don’t get to say you’re not being accurately represented, because you are getting exactly what you voted for.
