        All in blue states and still a very small number relative to the democrats that can win outside of blue states.

        In other words they can’t win a nation wide election.

            I like how you ignore the part where those progressives are only popular in blue states. You can’t win nationwide elections with only blue states.

            Or are you trying to move the goalpost by pretending we aren’t talking about nation wide elections?

                FDR says American voters have changed a lot in the past century. He was basing this statement on actual election results from 2016-2024 instead of basing it on the emotions of a leftist that is high on copium.

        Democrats have won the majority of nation wide elections since the 90s.

        Trump lost by a larger amount in 2020 than Harris did in 2024.

        If right wingers followed the leftist playbook of not voting Trump would’ve lost in 2024 too.

        Leftists are the smallest demographic of voters in a democracy.

          Your only concern is winning the election and not for advancing workers rights. Obtaining power then doing nothing with it is a lost election.

          Leftists are the smallest demographic of voters in a democracy.

          Yet liberals always come begging for our support, we are Schrodinger’s leftist, too small to matter and needed to win elections.

            You can’t advance workers rights without winning elections first

            Obtaining power then doing nothing with it is a lost election

            Blaming the Democratic Party for the actions of the few that vote against their Democratic party is disingenuous.

            Politicians can run as democrats when they aren’t.

            Special interest groups can threaten, bribe or blackmail just enough to block legislation they don’t want. Then you scape goat the party that they voted against. It doesn’t make sense.

            Yet liberals always come begging for our support

            Anyone trying to win will reach out to anybody that can vote and try to win them over. This is how we know leftist aren’t trying to win or maybe don’t realize they are losing/unpopular because their own behavior.
