      You can’t go straight for the presidency with your ideals. You have to shift opinion from the bottom up. Meanwhile, we participate in a game of tug-of-war at the top levels.

        The general public opinion is there, but people feel trapped in a two-party system and they fear that if they were to vote outside of that two-party system they may lose the few table scraps that they currently get

          Point to where I defended Putin. Or is this one of those covert bot remarks with you trying to circumvent the bot rule?

      Try not to act surprised when you do nothing to elect leftist candidates locally and at the state level next year. Or any leftist candidates to the legislature at mid terms. And then in 4 years try not to act surprised that the POTUS candidates appeal to neoliberal, centrist and conservatives who have proven to engage with politics for decades and thus being an safe strategy to the white house.

      Pouting about it won’t endear people to your cause.

        So by your own admission, you acknowledge that your entire party is neoliberal, centrist and conservative. They have become the dominant right-wing conservative party

                If you’re willing to overlook things like genocide so you don’t lose your privilege and position of status in society, it doesn’t appear that I’m the shallow one.
