Asking if you're today's explanation is neither a strawman or an attack
Reducing people to a perspective you can feel free to ignore is, in fact, an attack.
Are you today's explanation?
Are you today’s right-winger cosplaying as a lib?
Always a good sign when you start off with a strawman/ personal attack.
Right‽ Also, why would you make such an honest admission? It isn't doing anything to help your argument.
Ok where do we start. Well first off we're talking national level, not mayoral candidates or safe districts.
Are you trying to tell me that the governor of Rhode Island has more pull than a mayor of America's biggest metro with 8x as many constituents? This is a supremely weird way to open up your response.
A bunch of nonsense about electoral history, blaming Clinton's loss on climate change, failing to acknowledge that Gore actually won his election, etc.
Lol.
So how do you get them to move left? By giving them victories first.
I think you should try that plan. Start with Mamdani.
Zohran Mamdani won the NYC primary, so it sure sounds like the voters are paying attention.
Whether or not the party wants to listen is their perogative, so long as they claim to represent us they can rise or fall on the strength of their promises to us and our faith in their willingness to make good on those promises.
"Nothing will fundamentally change" sure isn't working as well as Obama's "hope and change", is it?

Every time the Dems lose, they go to the center to find voters.
The center is to the left of where the party was 10 years ago. If the party actually acted like you suggest they are then they wouldn't have lost to an 80's villain twice.
If you want them to go left, you have to give them wins first.
Why would they go left if the plan to find a middle ground with Republicans was working?
Right now every time they go left, they lose.
Zohran Mamdani.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Bernie Sanders.
Every time they've gone left they've won, every time they reject the left they lose.
Hell, even that neoliberal Obama who never kept his campaign promises still at least promised us hope and change and won twice, but now the Democrats can only promise that nothing will change. I guess we can credit them with being honest?
Biden gave green energy and build back better. The reward? Lose the house. Harris was going to pretty much continue. What was the answer?
The answer is that Biden never went left. "Green energy" is a neoliberal plan to replace fossil fuel subsidies with rare earth subsidies while changing nothing about their extraction, manufacturing, or distribution processes and "Build Back Better" never passed.
A continuation of nothing is still nothing.
I wish I had that much power, then I'd simply demand that the Democrats run good candidates that people would vote for.
Blaming voters for your candidates' failure sure is a good way to get more voters, isn't it?
You are why the Democrats feel safe to run shitty candidates.
Software companies don't want you to know this, but the open-source licenses on the internet are free. You can just take them home. I have 458 apps.
They won't. The party exists to serve the rich.
Not voting doesn't make their candidates shitty candidates win, Democrats lose when turnout is depressed.
They know this, and they still chose to deliberately depress turnout with another shitty candidate who promised us nothing would change. Their last successful candidate won two terms on promises of hope and change and only 12 years later they're promising the opposite and delivering nothingburgers.
