    Yes, let’s keep punching left as Democrats lose even the moderates they exclusively cater to now.

    Instead, Mr. Biden’s losses are concentrated among moderate and conservative Democratic-leaning voters, who nonetheless think that the system needs major changes or to be torn down altogether. Mr. Trump wins just 2 percent of Mr. Biden’s “very liberal” 2020 voters who think the system at least needs major changes, compared with 16 percent of those who are moderate or conservative. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/13/us/politics/biden-trump-battleground-poll.html

      “Democrats are losing the moderates and conservative votes that were an unfortunately essential part of the coalition - time to cater to the much smaller left-wing of the party!”

      Does that really make strategic sense to you?

        You’re the one making memes making fun of leftists, not me. Apparently you should be making memes alienating centrist voters instead.

          I should be alienating centrist voters… because… I’m upset at leftists?

          I expect moderates and conservatives to vote in favor of absolute dogshite. If I didn’t expect that of them, they wouldn’t be moderates or conservatives. But leftists I generally expect to NOT be in favor of intensified genocides and the triumph of fascism over hundreds of millions of people.

          I guess I’m just being unrealistic.
