    Ah right, liberals, the bane of everyone’s existence. Nazis are already blaming liberals for everything, so it was just a matter of time until anarchists (or whatever OP likes to be) start doing the same.

          Not voting for a democrat you mean? I think leftists would vote for a left wing candidate if you Dems can ever bring yourself to nominate one for President. Otherwise it’s just more of the same.

                My exact point. NYC, a place that actually has leftists that vote, has now moved left past the DNC. The DNC is the stepping stone to go further left. This is only possible in NYC because of voting.

                  Yes, your point is you think leftists dont vote. We get it.

                  Our point is leftists dont vote when the candidate is trash. The votes are there the candidates are not.

                  There isnt anything special about NYC beyond having a high population density that makes it hard for the fascist trash to gain power there.

                    Yes, but candidates will never appeal to a base that doesn’t vote. What is special about NYC is that there is no room for right wing propaganda.

            Cornel West ran, non-voters exist because they are happy with either front runner winning. If they wanted neither then they would protest vote.

              Most non-voters I know just feel entirely hopeless that any election will lead to improvement. I always vote (and always for a 3rd party), but I’ve stopped giving my non-voting friends a hard time. As one of them said: “I don’t vote for the head of the KKK either!”

      Maybe liberals should stop doing things that make fascism grow, and help the people who stop fascism? Maybe that’s asking them to not be racist elitist assholes, so they’ll never do it.

        Hey now, don’t undersell them

        They also helped build out a lot of the systems that the fascists are using, and reached across the aisle to support the facists.
