You seem to be saying that the voters are irrational. That may or not be the case, but it's largely irrelevant to converting them.
Some are, some aren't. Either way, saying "just have better policy" is ignorant at best.
"Don't bother asking for better policies!" is a great slogan for the party lol.
That's not what I am saying though.
If we want to actually change the DNC for the better, that means voting in their primaries and especially at the local level with a heavy preference (not seeking perfection) for truly leftist candidates.
The DNC needs to be taken over. Nagging will never do anything.
We've been trying that for decades, buddy. Dissatisfaction with the dems is not "seeking perfection", "nagging", or any other patronizing mischaracterization you wish to paint it as.
If you've been trying to take over the DNC for decades, how you're doing that could use some work.
And your strategy of voting for them no matter what their policy is works very well, I suppose?
Whataboutism
