Quote from: Bruno on Yesterday at 06:02:37 PMI think a big part of the problem is the lack of real progressive messaging in the media, which seem to mostly represent corporate interests and, you know, Putin.
And even then, part of the problem with what little independent progressive media that is out there, is that the progressive message tends to be complex and nuanced, and it turns out we really need the votes of some 15 million or so people who are maybe not so good at processing that kind of information.
Progressives make up 30% of dems. Blue dog dems make up another 30%, and 40% are your bedrock liberals that aren't opposed.
So what happens when you take the party too left, you get ~ 70-80% of your voters showing up and then you're fucked because the MAGA assholes run off with everything.
I'm not wild about it, but we just saw it happen.
Well, that and the bullshit economy thing.
