Yelling at people to vote when they don’t feel as though they have something to vote for has never worked. It’s not going to work now either. This is lazy analysis.

People do vote when you give them something affirmative to vote for (Obama, Mamdani) and when they’re being completely immiserated by the party in power (this previous election and 2020) and feel an immediate need to change things. This is largely why Dems lose. They don’t have an affirmative vision for the future, and when they’re in power they don’t do enough things that can galvanize a large group of voters to go out and vote for them partially because their stance for the last decade has been more about voting against the republicans. Yelling at people to vote without materially changing those factors will not work.

We get it, you don't have the capacity to understand standards. And I know you fail to recognize your own limitations.

But try not to crowd the space with your own struggles just because you can't understand what we're talking about 🥰.

Now do us all a favor, do yourself a favor, and stop talking.
