Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

MODERATORS
Because you're demanding a simple answer to a complex question. It's not a "yes" or a "no". It's a "yes, but" or a "no, but" answer depending on how you look at it.
What is so complex about "Do democrats need progressives"?
Either they are an instrumental voting block that needs to be taken seriously, or they don't matter (and therefore deserve no blame if Joe loses).
You want it both ways because you are not arguing in good faith.
The answer, as we've all been telling you, is neither of those. Leftists (because you're not talking about progressives no matter how much you try to pretend you are) are inconsequential themselves. But their influence (lately) on uninformed voters is very consequential. People who would never call themselves leftists but are being suckered in by leftist talking points.
