"Ummmmm you're kidding right? Our owners would never allow that. I was thinking more like swoop in and openly become the new right! Nows our chance to take the economic left mask off and embrace our neoliberalism!"

I feel like the LotR "Cast it into the fire!" meme would also work, where the ring is "Rich People Money"

Cool, so next time we'll show up to support the Bernie-equivalent in the primaries unlike in 2016 and 2020, right?

Right...?

The constant refrain of "I don't understand why the Dem party is appealing to moderates when moderates win the primaries????" is immensely frustrating. And before the usual, predictable chorus of "RIGGED PRIMARIES" comes up, no, the DNC does not play fair, but that also doesn't mean they were stuffing the ballot boxes. They framed things in an anti-Bernie way, but that ultimately didn't matter because both times we lost by double digit percentage points against the fuckwad moderate candidate.

Our 'elites' are dogshit, but the essential problem is that the American electorate is neither educated on the issues nor particularly left. That is where change starts, so get educating instead of wishing for BAD elites to be replaced by GOOD elites.

Abstentionists: *Don't vote for Dems*

Dems: *lose the election*

Dems: *go further right in an attempt to attract more voters*

Abstentionists: *surprised Pikachu*

The left don’t turn out to vote so I expect the DNC to keep chasing people who actually vote and keep moving right.
