Every time they lost it’s because they relied on the left that didn’t show up

The left DOES show up...but here's the thing...there's not enough of them to make a difference. I know it FEELS like leftism and even progressivism is super duper popular because its omnipresent on the internet but in the real world there just aren't enough of them to matter for national elections outside of a few specific places.

It's like relying on an 8 year old to help you move furniture. You quickly realize that they just aren't strong enough to do much.

Oh? Who does the canvasing? Who gets their friends to vote? You ignore the cascade effect of lefties on their moderate social circle. Who absolutely eviscerates the dems when then start supporting genocide and procorporate nonsense over working Americans.

Moving to the right just failed spectacularly. Democrats will do it again anyway.
