Look at who the OP is...Does this mean that millennial leftists are aging into right-wingers? Complete bullshyt, and people on this board who believe it are generally clowns.

How much more evidence do we need of these Bernie bros blowing shyt up because they were mad? I haven’t been wrong YET.I'm just enjoying the "of course they are" responses after years of the counter argument being, "no person who holds leftist ideals are voting republican."
The truth is a lot of these folks were conservative or grew up in conservative families and we're attracted to the idea of getting free stuff without having to talk about race.
That being said, there's a large portion of society who hold similar views and are disenfranchised because they choose not to do their civic duty.
Ultimately, what I feel I am seeing is just people being frustrated that they don't connect with their peers the way they thought they would.How much more evidence do we need of these Bernie bros blowing shyt up because they were mad? I haven’t been wrong YET.
they ruined the democrats by raising politics expectations to unreal heights and left republicans a wide lane
I haven’t been wrong YET.

It's not stupid shyt for them. Idealism changes as people get older. Seems like with white moderates and a particular set of popular white leftists this change occurs when they feel they are no longer being given priority.Ha, no wonder. I rarely look at OP names and didn't realize he started it, usually I don't see his posts at all. If the site hadn't rebooted and this hadn't been my first thread while I wasn't logged in then I wouldn't even have seen the thread at all.
Notice that I completely decimated the premise of the thread and yet the right-wing corporate dems are still speaking as if it's true and refuse to engage with the facts proving that it's not. Even though the entire thing was just some typical bullshyt propaganda.
They don't want to admit that the voters who have carried the recent Republicans wins are the exact fukking moderate suburban middle-class white people who they claim are part of their alliance.....yet they're abandoning their moderate candidates at the drop of a hat for stupid shyt. While the tens of millions of black/brown/young/liberal/poor voters they COULD be targeting still aren't even showing up to the polls after their trust was broken over and over and over again.
Watch as their only responses to this are going to be to attempt to shame the most vulnerable and idealistic people in the country, the ones they've fukked over time and time again, rather than acknowledging their responsibility for the direction the country is going.

I would argue that they all low key believe this replacement theory bullshyt, even if in other cycles they vote for progressive issues.

But no one is changing. The red wave has nothing to do with people who vote for "progressive issues". It's driven by the same conservative/moderate middle-class white people who supported Bush and moderate republicans, voters who only briefly went for the dems cause they felt Trump was going too far but are now returning to their safe space.
As I already pointed out with clear data, the suggestion that this shift is driven by "idealism changes as people get older" is completely false. Leftists are still leftists, liberals are still liberals, if anything millennials are becoming more liberal than they ever were while white moderates with money are still unreliable allies. No one who allies with black/brown voters in real life can be swayed by "Replacement Theory" bullshyt because all it would say is they're getting more allies. In order to believe Replacement Theory, you have to already assume that Black/Brown voters are ideologically opposed to you.
Trying to build a wealthy white education coalition around, "But these folk are so rude and mean!" was a losing plan from the start. Sure, guilt-trip every sensitive white moderate you can, we need their votes on the big shyt, but its gonna fukk you up to try to build your long-term hopes around them when their goals for their lives are ideologically opposed to the fundamental changes we need to make in the country.
Work for black voters. Work for brown voters. Work for working-class voters. Work for voters in poverty. Work for young voters. Work for farmers. Work for small businesses. Work for anyone BUT white corporate suburbia.
The problem is that many in Democratic leadership have personal goals far more closely aligned with well-off white suburbia than with any of the other groups I mentioned.
I'm a fan of the "vote to secure more points on the board" crowd
You can't get, what you don't secure.
Plus, its quite clear, many progressive candidates simply can NOT win.
I'm glad its finally just being called out for what it is, and NOT just mere "racism"Yeah I've been saying this for years.
The media might be paying more attention to it now, but "replacement theory" in some form has been a primary motivator of conservative voting for decades. There have been academic studies on the subject showing that just having minorities present tends to make some people more conservative. And I would imagine white voters feel even more bothered about that kind of thing once they have kids.
