    You think there are millions of self-proclaimed leftists in USA? Sure buddy.

    And these ‘leftists’ saw who might be president and they still chose to abstain?

    Good job. 👍

      The DNC saw who their rival is and decided to move in that direction instead of catering to the millions that are not voting because of their lacklustre policies. Good job the DNC as well, then.

      What about the ones who are voting but doesn’t use their voice to pressure the DNC to adopt more progressive policies, but instead prefer to alienate the left even more by attacking them the whole way up to the election. I’m sure they’re happy with their decision, as well.

        I think my sarcasm wasn’t clear to you so let me say it in clearer terms:

        The left in USA is a myth. There aren’t millions of leftists waiting for DNC to do the right things and give them perfect unicorn to vote for so they can get off their asses.

          That’s because you can only think in black and white terms that you can’t tell that it’s not just ‘leftist’ that would be motivated to vote if the DNC had catered to more progressive policies, but a lot of people on the centre that had also been disillusioned by the political system. We’ve seen many times that progressive stances gets a lot of support from people of all political spectrum, yet the only thing the DNC can think to do is try to appeal to the right side of the spectrum that would still only vote for a Republican? So ridiculous.

          In the meantime, you can continue putting your head in the sand and enjoy watching Harris get less support than Hillary because the ‘leftist’ are not worth listening to. I’m sure you think if she had slid even more to the right, she would’ve gotten more support, right?
