The system isn't working for the people
Edit:
I've changed my mind on this.
Let the DNC go full MAGA and when they lose, because they will lose, they get the heat and we can eject them forever. At least sit them in a corner.
Progressives, you fight if you want but I don't believe the elections will be fair so it's a win win for you.
I just don't think that's the end all be all answer to your argument. It's not as data driven as you might think. There is much more working under the hood then just shifting votes around.
In our system votes are literally all that matter.
Right, so do a more rigorous analysis.
Want me to tell you how Rachele Fruit could have had a path to the presidency?
No.
If that were my argument I would but as you've hopefully read: I think your, "proof" is surface level and am not convinced.
Why do you think that?
Votes aren't solely made on ideological basis. If I think there is a subset not participating but they would under the right circumstances they wouldn't be a part of the calculation, either..
By not voting they’ve taken themselves out of the equation and I’m not putting them back into it.
Well, I don't care because I already know your calculation is based on feels.
No, they’re cold hard facts based on the 2024 poll called the election.

I'll try not to cuss but you know and I know the polls were too close to call. So I don't know what we are doing here.
Between the conservatives and the moderates with the progressives trailing slightly behind Jill Stein.
Oh right. The "moderate" party.
Sorry you know I was talking about four parties there?
Two neck and neck and progressives in fourth place, not even on the podium.
Right, because any progressive not voting in the general for the dnc is just a loon.
Edit: come back with real numbers real data. What ever it is you think proves it for all to see. Go ahead. I won't play footsie anymore.
When their chosen candidate trails behind Jill Stein yes it’s kind of loony when the only real choice is Harris vs Trump.
So, it goes with out saying that thats not representive data?
Where are the progressive representatives in lower government then?
