I never said anything about who to vote for, but we all know the Democratic Party is a private institution that is not obligated to follow the will of its constituents. Just look at national public policy polling and where the party diverges. Look at how the party leaders ignore and work against massively popular progressive candidates like Graham Platner, Ilhan Omar, Abdul El-Sayed, Zohran Mamdani, etc.

Do you honestly think they want to “win”?

The Democratic Party exists as a honeypot to attract and neutralize progressive policies and politicians, and to ensure that the Overton Window of American politics never moves left. They are a right-wing party that runs cover for republicans. They don’t agree with you, they want to stop you.

Oh, you think voter apathy is an effective strategy for change. Have a good day.
