“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”
That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.
Again they understand that for the next 4 years, the thought is after that
The last 4 years of a GOP president saw 3 supreme court seats that will cause brutal ripples though our country for 20-30yrs at least.
Thinking that “whatever happens will only last 4 yrs” is either wildly stupid or intentionally misleading.
It’s a non-trivial assumption that there would even be a genuine election after that.
The problem is that the Democratic Party interprets all losses as evidence that they haven’t yet moved far enough to the right, and all wins as evidence that moving to the right works.
They’ve been running on Clinton’s “third way” for three decades.
AOC and the squad are finally starting to turn it around.
And will continue doing so, win or lose, until elections are no longer a thing.
Yeah, I get what you’re saying. What I’m saying is that if the farther right candidate wins, the next nominee is going to move right because that’s where the voters are.
And that’s ignoring the rest of the comments about if there will even be another election.
So they will help put someone in power that will remove fair elections? That makes no sense as a long term plan, imo it’s more likely they are trying to push democrats a certain way but are not truly entertaining the notion of voting for a fascist.
