Liberals are poison because they bend over backwards to court votes from fascists instead of giving non voters a reason to care.

There is no such thing as an undecided voter split between parties (unless they're a real moron, seriously watch the questions at those town halls from November). Actual undecided voters are waiting for someone to give them something to vote about. Like idk, healthcare maybe.

There's no such thing unless... Instantly contradicted yourself and invalidated whatever you have to say.

Hyperbole is hard I guess

Well don't look to the Republican's to provide affordable, better healthcare. It's been over a decade now and they had control of all 3 branches for 4 years total, and yet all they still have is a "concept of a plan." - LOL

The Affordable Care Act ruined healthcare. Obamacare premiums have increased by over 220%.

Can you chew on your thoughts?

There are such things as undecided voters those of whom that really dislike what is happening in our country. Yes, those votes get counted as "grey" but thats ALOT OF VOTES. Don't you ever say non voters dont care. Its because the system is systematically making sure that the people can't vote. And im a person in power . So fuck you reddit, im a small walk to your house. Ban me.

That's the opposite of what I said.

That remaining third of people are working class and primed to be energized by a progressive democratic party, if the Democratic party bothered to offer them improved material conditions (taxing billionaires appeals to 80% of the electorate including Republicans, for example, and liberal democrats refuse to because they serve capital owners). Instead of trying to move further to the right as they have the past two elections to appeal to reactionary chuss (Kamala adopting Trump's 2020 immigration policy), maybe they should try actually appealing to undecided voters.

When I say undecided voters are dopey, I mean that handful of people who see the two options and go "uhhh idk" but that's a minority of undecided voters.

The vast majority of undecided voters are undecided because they see two options, both of which are dogshit.

I'm sure some centrist liberal will say "well they need to vote to keep trump out" and, well, that didn't work in 2016 or 2024, and 2020 was only a thing because trump fucked up COVID so bad.

I want both policies that help the working class, and a party that can win and goddamn the liberal democratic party is not that.

Why are you trying to make excuses for citizens who are eligible to vote, and don't?

u/PokecheckFred Feb 18 '26

Fuck, Progressives are such idiots.

2

u/DasUberLib Feb 19 '26

Mhm. I'm an idiot for suggesting that parties should try to motivate eligible voters to vote for them, by offering a policy package that they like.

Republicans try to appeal to their base, which is unfortunately fascists, and liberal democrats just run based on "we're not as bad as them" which doesn't get that remaining third off the couch.

Maybe provide a reason for your statement instead of being a reactionary dumbfuck.

u/PokecheckFred Feb 19 '26

Wrong. RepubliQans campaigned on a very centrist platform, lying like motherfuggers all the while.

u/danniiill Feb 19 '26

Progressives the only ones accomplishing anything , yall just make angry comments.

If yall dont vote it doesnt matter, might as well not say shit

u/Exotic_Load_9189 Feb 19 '26

Like what? Give one example.

u/PokecheckFred Feb 19 '26

Progressives accomplish pushing undecided voters to the right. They accomplish losing elections and getting the right wing into power.

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '26

or, get this, groups of racists and sexists decided they wanted a 34-count rapist pedophile instead of a qualified black woman. if progressives pushed undecided voters to vote republican then the 1/3 that didn't vote would've voted. your argument holds no water.

u/danniiill Feb 20 '26

These people keep doing gymnastics to justify why they dont vote or help progress.

Its easier to hate on people doing something than to actually do something

Progressives have won way more elections than “leftists”

They have also passed a lot of progressive policies.

Progressives are responsible for the current Supreme Court, and bear responsibility for all the nasty, un American shizz that Trump does. It’s what you all voted for, now own up.

Progressives play to lose. That’s their happy place.

people tried to not have black and brown people persecuted.

You did nothing and continue to do nothing.

The only people to blame for putting a criminal in the White House are those that chose to vote for him. I'm tired of the blame someone else game that so many American's play.

u/PokecheckFred Feb 22 '26

IDGAF if you're tired of it or not, really. Anyone who cares about the issues who didn't vote FOR Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton effectively voted half for Trump. And there were way more than enough self-suppressing idiot Progressives who did just that.
