Because if we don’t always come out and vote, Democrats have to cater to the people who DO always come out and vote. Which are Republican voters.
Except republican voters don’t vote for democrats. They’re not gettable. But the alternative involves treating the left wing of their party like people with agency instead of hostages to be beaten until votes fall out.
Totally agree about their votes not being gettable. But they still always vote. They’re reliably going out there and doing their civic duty, not staying at home and complaining about policy. But if democrat voters reliably voted, they’d be catered to. Democrats need to always vote because not voting is not a punishment for anyone but ourselves by taking away any representation we have.
