    The people shouting the loudest about Gaza historically don’t fucking vote, ever.

    I shout pretty loud about the genocide wing’s greatest accomplishment, and I vote.

        Do the republicans your wing of the party keeps pursuing vote for you? Because it seems to me like “you never vote for us” never caused centrists to ignore them.

          I don’t understand why you refuse to understand that if progressives voted for progressive candidates in democratic primaries in enough numbers then we would have progressive democratic candidates.

            People don’t want to register to vote in primaries while there are ICE thugs with guns watching, and registration in primaries isn’t (successfully) protected information.

            The DNC could waive the registration requirement and get progressive voters to turn out for primaries.

            But we both know not to expect the DNC to do that.

              So we’re back to progressives don’t vote and you’re wondering what the fuckin deal is? Progressives don’t vote. That’s the deal. If they did we’d have a progressive party, but instead we get republican water carriers spouting your rhetoric.

              If progressives voted progressively we’d have a progressive party. We don’t, therefore progressives don’t vote.

                “If you just voted in the primaries we didn’t have because we don’t want to listen to you, we would listen to you!”

                  And we’re going in circles. There weren’t any cancelled primaries and you’re just proving Americans deserve what we’re getting. You’re clearly asking for more.

                    You’re pretending that what we got were primaries because you like the genocidal candidate who was coronated.
