    fourteen bajillion and one percent.

    what you are asking is not quantifiable, a thought terminating cliche, and is not a useable metric on policy nor politics. i don’t identify as anything other then outside left.

    the demand to vote blue no matter who is an admition that the chosen candidate supports unpopular policy. the attempt to pivot away from criticisms of the democratic party because republicans are worse is a political strategy, manufactured by the democrats, to push obviously unpopular candidates.

    you disagree with a criticism of the dnc? the honest interlocketer answers that criticism. the dishonest bastard labels them a maga plant because they don’t want to be seen arguing for the benefit of corporations over people.

      This isn’t about policy.

      I asked any easy question and you won’t answer it because you are entrenched in an argument that no one made.

      The argument isn’t about the need to criticize Democrats.

      So stop with the dodges and address the likelihood that a random person on the street is leftist.

      14% of Americans are favorable to communism. https://www.cato.org/blog/young-americans-socialism-too-much-thats-problem-libertarians-must-fix

      That means if you criticize Democrats, there is an 86% chance a random American is not going to know where your criticism comes from. Because Trump is constantly criticizing Democrats.

        i haven’t dodged a single thing you said. attempting to demand a percent of labeled progressives was a dishonest deflection away from demands that the dnc answer to valid criticism.

        the criticism speaks for itself, if the dnc will not answer to it. so the question is what criticism of the dnc would point to republicans being the preferred option to the politically illiterate? because if the criticism is valid, that is a problem. a problem THAT SHOULD BE CALLED THE FUCK OUT PUBLICLY.

        let’s have an example of a criticism of the dnc that you think requires a no maga sticker?

          attempting to demand a percent of labeled progressives was a dishonest deflection away from demands that the dnc answer to valid criticism.

          I didn’t argue that the dnc shouldn’t be criticized. I argued that a public Twitter broadcast will be misinterpreted because only a small minority of Americans are leftist enough to understand the criticism.
