Progressives don’t help the dems in statewide elections.

Its because the Dems alienate the left side of the party. They'd rather work with republicans than the people in their party. There are no political gains with working with republicans, we go through this time and time again.

They don't hurt them either, that entire line of reasoning is nonsense.
They actually do hurt them in swings states, especially with independent voters.

So the progressive policies that don't get passed by centrist Dems are hurting Dems?
Y'all got to stop regurgitating this lazy talking point.
Biden boys lost in VA where there’s a high Ethi/Eri population? Imagine that….
Are the Habeshas mobilized like that against Biden boys?THE MACHINE

This just isnt true, majority of Democrats are left of the establishment but they are convinced they cant win unless they put in a centrist. This is because centrist Dems and Republicans come together every election cycle to make the left seem radical.
Incumbent was there for 30 yrs it was time for him to go
like clockwork
That train is never late.

The issue is most Americans are still not hurting. This is a huge impediment to any real change.
55% of the American populace live in the suburbs. These suburbs are overwhelmingly majority white. These people are still living a semblance of the so-called American dream. This results in two effects:
1) They do not support structural changes that would lead to a more just America because the current system still works for them.
2) They are not happy that the Democrats are focused on the needs of the black and brown urban poor which may be the right and humane thing to do but unpopular in suburbia because the vast majority of white suburbanites are racist small-minded, self-centered and greedy. Poor whites get riled up with culture wars like gun rights, immigration, CRT, BLM etc.
This is what @Pressure always says. He speaks facts as he is a black man in the south. It’s easy for me a black man in NYC to think this Republic is more progressive. But that’s me in my tri-state area bubble. Once you leave the NYC metro area the country is red and racist as fukk. But white folks will be the downfall of this nation. What doesn’t help is that the GQP is getting closer and closer to their fascist dream. So America will continue decline. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, the Senate, Supreme Court is leading to their ultimate goal. And when America goes through a REAL crisis white folks will look to a fascist right wing authoritarian to take the reign. For example like climate change. People have no idea how close we are to the race to the bottom. Social misinformation doesn’t help. Like @MyAccount this country is done done.

You said this as if Democrats were promoting politics to help those people in VA and NJ. Those candidates were no different than they were the last times they ran. You guys got to stop pontificating with such a defeatist mentality. You basically said that there is no way to motivate people to vote the right way so it is what it is. That lets people off the hook for poor strategy and messaging. How was is that those same suburbs voted for Democrats 3 out of the last 4 presidential elections and the last two mid term elections? Use your head. It’s about messaging. These straw men you guys are putting up is getting tired. No one said America wasn’t racist.
"democrats should learn"...by pretending to be idiots.
