My brother in Christ leftists weren't even in this primary. Ffs one of the options was a damn antivaxer. Are you really gonna say the DNC would be accepting of actual leftists when they seem more fine having an antivaxer represent them? Actual leftists were running third party like the PSL party with Claudia de la Cruz or getting thrown out of every public Dem appearance for demanding them to speak against Israel and stand up for Palestinians. At the very least allow for someone from Palestine to speak on stage at a conference in front of the public, but that was asking too much.

Yeah, that's my whole point.

Yeah and a lot of leftists aren't going to hold their nose and vote for any form of light conservatism just because it's "the lesser of two evils". They're either going to vote third party or not vote at all. So the DNC can either shut down and stop getting in everyone's way or start trying to appeal to leftists instead of the mythical "moderate conservative".

That's how you get trump, congrats!

You all always blame leftists as if Dems can do no wrong and are allowed to do whatever they want? Newsom attacks homeless people, talks shit about trans people, and platforms fascists on his podcast? That's fine cause he's not running as a conservative and said some mean things about Trump on Twitter. Anyone who expects more from them is just purity testing and will never be satisfied.

I blame both sides if they help trump/Republicans win. If cuomo spoils the NYC race I will blame him as well.
