The primaries are where the party platform is shifted. It's how the Republicans got first the Tea Party and then MAGA.
Which is why we need the DNC to vet candidates as much as possible. So we don’t end up getting some democrat version of Trump through open primaries.
If you don’t have enough elected officials to do anything then criticism is pointless.
Criticism is for when there is no threat to your ability to get elected.
Criticism before an election is secured, gives the opposition talking points to use against you. It also gives voters a reason to feel apathetic and not vote.
This guarantees leftist legislation doesn’t get passed and leftists politicians don’t get elected.
Involved in what way?
What do you mean by “only do politics on Election Day”
FUD works by sowing apathy to discourage a behavior. In this scenario, all that criticism is used by bad actors to convince people who would vote democrat to just stay home or believe that voting doesn’t matter because bother sides are the same.
Leftists fuel the anti-democratic propaganda machines with their ‘criticism’. Those ‘criticisms’ have consequences and in the end, prevent leftists legislation from being passed.
Did leftists stay home during the election and hand over the US to fascists because of spongebobcase?
Who gave up other than leftists on Election Day? Democrats are still trying to block legislation in the house and senate without a majority.
Filibusters don’t stop anything. Just delay it. Republicans are able to obstruct by tricking progressives into electing republicans like Fetterman and Sinema.
Democrats are obstructing legislation in the house as much as possible but they don’t have a majority so their success is dependent on republican infighting.
I wish leftists knew how to win elections so we could get politicians that vote on leftist policies. But leftists are unpopular among voters and consistently lose elections.
It seems like every time a progressive gets elected they end up being a republican like Fetterman and Sinema.
Yup, staying home on Election Day because of genocide leads to defeat.
They have been in the house of representative by using the republicans infighting against them. But again democrats don’t have enough elected officials to pass or block legislation because leftists continue to fail at winning over voters and getting elected.
Too many leftists stayed home during the election. Now democrats don’t have enough elected officials to do anything. But you probably knew that.
And how will removing the vetting process impact the amount of candidates we get like Fetterman? It will increase them.
