No more concessions to liberalism - Lemmy.World

This is a weird meme. The Democrats actively tried to court suburban white voters and other traditionally right-Leaning demographics. They tried to peel Republicans off. The democrats never offered socialists a cup labeled “liberalism”, they offered “moderate republicans” a cup labeled “Border Control and Bush era political icons” and they said “Bro. I already told you I will only ever vote for Republicans”.

> Democrats: Run most leftist administration in the history of the country

> Democrats: Pass law after law and EO after EO that are a wishlist of progressive and leftist policies

> Democrats: Put officers from the most famous leftist movement in a century in high and visible positions of power in the government

> Leftists online: We never get anything by voting for Democrats they have betrayed us and move to the right constantly

TBH, it’s long past time for the Democratic Party to actually start ignoring the fringe left and work for the American people.

Despite all the Biden administrations achievements, they still haven’t addressed what the left has been asking for over the last decade.

Stop supporting the war in Gaza? Nah.

Single-payer healthcare system? Nuh uh.

Housing crisis relief? If you’re good… maybe.

Courts and criminal justice reform? Lol.

Billionaire tax? Nope.

Increase minimum wage? Psh.

Legalize marijuana? Hah! No.

Man, it’s a good thing Trump is going to implement all of those things.
It shouldn’t be a surprise that the people who believe politics no longer serves them aren’t motivated to participate in the political system.
It is also shouldn’t be a surprise that political system not only doesn’t give a shit but also doesn’t have an idea about people who don’t participate in it. Almost by definition.
So who’s going to change? The disillusioned voters? Or the politicians running for office? Or are we just to keep yelling at people who aren’t listening?
Oh, politicians will do the changing all right. They identify the people who vote and will cater more to them, moving further right. Many of them don’t want that actually, but since getting votes is the only way to be elected, and left doesn’t vote, they just have to.
People though? I don’t know, right now I’m disappointed in all the America, so I don’t believe change is possible. I however will continue yelling at idiots who don’t want right wing politicians but don’t vote therefore don’t express their wants. I will also continue doing public communication, maybe less yelly though.
