Blaming millions of working class people in the democratic base over the vastly smaller amount of policymakers in the DNC leadership, who chose to run to the right on almost every issue in an attempt to gain the votes of the mythical ‘moderate conservatives’ is ridiculous imo.
Including choosing to support a genocide unpopular with the public as a whole(Poll from March 27, 2024: https://news.gallup.com/poll/642695/majority-disapprove-israeli-action-gaza.aspx and the numbers were even higher when you selected for people more inclined to vote for the democrats) which would obviously suppress voter turnout among the left-leaning base who couldn’t swollow their morality to vote for a party directly arming genocidaires.
The DNC being beholden to their Megadonors and PACs over the working class base, thus running on a triangulated center-right pro-genocide platform instead of on policy that would materially benefit the base and aligns with their values at the expense of the Megadonors profits Is how we actually got here
You can’t browbeat people working 40+ hours a week living paycheck to paycheck to the polls with ‘lesser evilism’,
the DNC has to radically change their platform leftwards to energise the base to get out the vote

This shit always pisses me off so much. Nobody is deciding whether to vote or not based on shitposts on an extremely niche internet forum.
