Edit: ok I’m generous too, while you’re not wrong about most of that low voter turnout is absolutely a signal, moreso than hundreds of thousands pinching their noses and voting Democrat again. Why should they ever bother being worth voting for when you and everyone else just wants your vote to be against something?
Over the long term, you created these conditions. The sooner you stop letting them get away with it, the sooner they’ll have to start serving the people
So let’s assume that you’re right. What is the proposal exactly? Like, what are you saying is what gets us where we need to go? Because as I said before, I’m only talking about when we get to the voting booth. The rest of the time, we organize a mass movement.
Another thing that is important is who can be pushed by a mass movement. Would you rather have a Trump or a Harris when we’re making our demands? These things are entirely strategic in the moment, but I don’t understand how this somehow makes Democrats any worse.
