    They’ll lose because some fatally online “leftists” can’t bring themselves to vote democrat no matter how bad the alternative is and they’ll pivot right because they have some hope of winning over centrists, and the right wing politicians are the ones who are winning and the supposedly left wing ones get 1% of the popular vote and zero members into the electoral college. It’s America after all.

      Oh and this…

      … is a disgrace.

      They work for us. They chase our vote. That’s how democracy works. We don’t owe them a vote.

      I suggest maybe you stop blaming your fellow man, and defending those in power, and start blaming those in power and defending your fellow man.

      What makes you think that?

      I’ve already, in a different thread, posted the latest polls showing the majority of Americans want to stop arms sales to Israel. The data suggests stopping arms sales would win a huge number of votes, but it isn’t Democrat policy.

      If the Democrats are likely to shift policy to seek votes, then why haven’t they shifted to banning arms sales to Israel?

      Absent of further data, it doesn’t look at all like Democrat policy follows available votes. It looks more like Democrat policy follows the wishes of their wealthy donors, so unless they tack to the right, I can’t see why Democrat policy will.

      If you want to make a case that Democrat policy chases votes, you’ll have to explain why they’re not chasing the obvious anti-genocide vote?
