    So, the same people who didn’t show up for Bernie in 2016, 2020, and 2024 are suddenly going to come to the polls now?

    People keep posting like there’s this giant army of leftists out there. I haven’t seen them yet, and don’t plan on counting on them.

    Also, your plan is remarkably light on details. Are these people going to be voting in Dem primaries, or creating a 3rd party.

    And there’s not one candidate named. Just some vague Not Hillary Clinton.

      Yes, the people that thought sanders had no chance due to dnc corruption that they were objectively correct about will mobilize for someone without that restriction. If sanders were to start a third party he alone would ensure the dnc never gets another candidate in office. And he’s a moderate.

      Because of the rules on civility, I’m going to say this as absolutely nicely as I can. Who the fuck are you to demand more from a random on the internet than the entire democratic party has ever given anyone?

      It’s a more concrete plan than continuing to go far right as the Dems did in the last two elections where they lost.

      M4a has around a 70% approval rating in polls, as does measures like focusing on green energy, taxing the rich, providing free college, retraining police, and reducing the power of the executive. Hell even ubi has over 50% in most polls. “Leftist” policies are popular. Hell socialism is extremely popular. You just can’t use the word socialist or communist thanks to 80 years of you people existing.

        I asked for a plan. You don’t have one. You can’t even name a candidate. And somehow this is all my fault.

          Yeah, JAQing off is all you people do. You want us to vote, unquestioningly for whatever fascist you throw up, and constantly ask pointless leading questions after they e been answered.

          The candidate shouldn’t matter. This is a democracy not an oligarchy. Hell you shouldn’t even be allowed to vote for individuals, given they should just be fulfilling the ideology of their party.

          In any case why not de la Cruz, since she’s a woman but not evil.

            I still don’t see anything like a plan.

            Keep on yelling on the internet. Maybe some random MAGoo will see your posts and rethink everything.
