      Every time the Dems look left they lose. They go to the center because they lose control (they need all 3 houses to do anything), so they go to the center to find voters. They’ve had control of all 3 houses for, drumroll please, 4 of the last 24 years. Want them to stop going to the center? Them give them victories.

      As opposed to trying to make things better and avoid more suffering for everyone.

      Accelerationists have never lived through what they claim to want because if they did, and lived, they would no longer be accelerationists.

        You’re kidding, right?

        If you weren’t paying attention, I’m a transgender furry. I’ve been personally targeted by Nazis long before Trump declared people like me to be enemies of America.

        Do you think I am not painfully aware of what is at stake here?

      I mean, that or all the angry young/middle age voters could, gasp show up to the primaries and move the party to the direction they’d like to see. Instead, the elderly voters, despite being a much smaller share of the population, outvote the heck out of them.

      If folks like you paid attention to politics when it matters, not just when it was trendy, things would be a lot different.

      Then again, reading what you’ve written, maybe it’s for the best y’all don’t.
