(13,305 posts)Latinos.....women....union workers.....jewish voters.......voters in rural WI, PA, and OH.....the reason 30-40% of them voted for Trump was because they were influenced by far lefties?
So by your logic.....if people WANT to vote for a centrist/moderate candidate....that the far left saying that our candidates are too centrist and moderate will convince them NOT to vote for Democrats? Because they don't want to vote for someone centrist and moderate? You're saying that voters in the Rust Belt were influenced by....Susan Sarandon?
Or what you are saying is that unlike all those other groups which you seem to absolve of any responsibility for not voting lockstep with their demographic, that progressives and more left leaning voters DO need to vote lockstep. No other group, just them. If women want to vote against their own interests or beliefs....cool. Union members want to vote against their own interests.....yeah, no problem. Latinos.........no worries. All good.
But if any portion of lefties don't want to vote with near unanimity......it's their fault.
