Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

If everyone voted for them they would have a mandate to move further left.

I don't understand this logic. If they get elected by doing the same thing as always, doesn't that just encourage them to continue on that trajectory?

No.

The more people vote left, the further left the republican policies need to be to stand any chance of being elected.

Dems will always be to the left of republicans in order to differentiate themselves.

The whole country moves left when everyone votes left. It's not very complicated.
