MODERATORS
I'm further left than you but anyone with a brain knows that it's a two party system and any vote for any other party is just pissing in the ocean. Find change inside the party with progressives but at the end of the day you (unfortunately) either vote blue or red or you might as well not vote at all.
You can call yourself whatever you want but if at the end of the day you vote like a moderate your beliefs make no difference.
But if you vote for a fringe party your beliefs matter more?
No. I'm fine with voting 3rd party or writing in knowing they'll likely not be elected. Are moderates fine with Biden losing to Trump? If not then they need to find some policy to compromise on in order to encourage progressives and leftists to vote for Biden again. We compromised in 2020 and voted for Joe Biden in the general. We've gotten fuck all for it. It's time for a compromise in the other direction. There's no point for us to stand around a table when moderates refuse to give us a seat.
I wish you luck with that
Good luck endlessly lecturing leftists and progressives while giving moderates a free pass being selfish pieces of shit.
Let's talk when someone other than a dictator wannabe has secured the presidency.
You mean like for the past four years? You all just ignored us. If you want our votes then talk to us now.
