Leftists would be a lot less flaky at the ballot box if politicians would meet their “impossible” demands

Lol and out wonder why the Dems don’t pander to you. You’re just whiny children. Yeah, what you want is reasonable, if it’s just a question of some dude deciding to give it to you or not. But that’s not how the world works. There’s not some politician somewhere with a button in front of them that says “push this button to make housing affordable” and they’re just like “nah lol”.

Leftists refuse to think through how to reach a desired end. Y’all are all just like “gimme gimme gimme”. And it’s never enough. I’m not saying it’s never enough to satisfy you, obviously we should always strive for a better society. I’m saying it’s never enough for a “good job” or a “thank you” or even a “hey maybe you’re not a total piece of shit”. If Bernie were ever elected president, y’all would have turned on him too for not pulling the magical “make everything perfect” lever you think exists in the Oval Office.

Not sending weapons to israel would be easy and fully in biden’s control, but he bypassed congress to give them more weapons. Apparently not assisting in genocide is too much to ask of democrats. I’m sure the rich donors aren’t thinking “gimme gimme gimme” at all and that they’re content with politicians giving them nothing. So your strategy of picking up voters is to:

Give them nothing.

Talk down to them.

Shame them for not wanting to vote for you.

I dunno, that just sounds stupid to me, but you’re the adult gigabrain here.

  Likewise, I live near a bridge. Jumping off it would be easy and fully in my control.

  Ah, the fucking arrogance rofl. You are not “voters”. You are a Leftist. You’re a small minority of voters. My strategy for picking up Leftist voters is:
  
  Don’t.

    Alright, so leftists supposedly don’t matter but also are to blame when democrats lose. Are you on the democrat party’s payroll? You post like you’re reading from their script, with all the galaxy brain takes that entails.

    I’m a card carrying Democrat, I vote in all the elections including party elections. I’m not on the payroll but I’m an active member and I’m happy about it.
    
    Although Democratic policies have pulled me out of poverty and set me up to actually be able to retire with some dignity, so I guess indirectly I’m on the payroll.

    Leftists matter when they convince low-information independents to stay home. I’ve mostly given up on convincing you people to go vote, because you’re all insane, and a decent portion of you are paid agitators anyway. I just want you to please shut the fuck up and stop convincing the people who can’t point out Gaza on a map that actually, doing the laziest thing possible is a moral good.
    
    These independent voters will never agree with your politics. You’re not radicalizing them. They don’t care. All you’re doing is giving them an excuse to stay home.
