They don't respect the people that keep voting for them, they know you think you have no other option and are exploiting it over and over. Whats the definition of insanity?

A lot of leftists don't vote. The party doesn't try to get the votes because historically the turn out is super low for leftists.

The turnout is low for any group that is dismissed by the parties. Why would you vote for people who ignore you?

Give them a reason, they'll vote.

Bernie didn't get the primary in 2016 or 2020. Primaries typically have 5-10% voter turnout. I felt like the only person voting for Bernie both times. If leftist voter turnout was higher, then he would have won the primary.
