    They don’t expect perfect lockstep from the electorate, they don’t even expect 41 out of 48 voters like they voted. They have literally never gotten it either.

        Just checking here, what percentage of blue representatives voted for and what percentage of red representatives voted for? I think that’s where you’ll find the answer for why you vote blue no matter who, because people’s lives are on the line, not because they’re perfect. Then you harass that blue candidate, 'cause fuck those centrists. Still better than the fascists in the far right, though.

          Nice diversion. I answered your question about Democrats demanding lockstep behind even their shittiest anti-worker candidates.

            I never asked you a question.

            Because the alternative is fascists, you dunce. You can’t move the needle left if there’s no needle. Vote blue no matter who has to do with not letting fascists take away our rights and kill women who need abortions.

            It’s not Democrats asking you to vote blue no matter who, it’s your fellow Americans who don’t want a fascist takeover. It’s common sense that shouldn’t even need a slogan.

              You don’t move the needle by being content, either. Which is why centrists are so fucking angry at people who aren’t pleased as fucking punch at all the deliberate failure of the second worst party.

                That’s why I wrote this

                Then you harass that blue candidate

                We have three powers of control over politicians

                • vote

                • protest

                • media

                That’s why they work so hard to take away, delegitimize or sow distrust in those powers. You want to move the needle left, you vote as left as possible and protest and harass them until they do what you want.

                  And that’s exactly what I do. You have a problem with it.

                    Why would I have a problem with it?
