      In the process they intentionally drove out anyone in their base who would not support Trump, including people who like Liz Cheney.

          Glad we agree that Republicans do in fact hate on their base.

          Democrats won the popular vote in 7 out of 8 of the last presidential elections, despite constant doom and gloom over polls from PUMAs and their equivalents.

          Biden himself was predicted to lose his 2020 primary and suffer a 2022 Red Wave. So I’m not particularly worried about 2024.

              Yet Democrats won in 2020 and 2022 despite you and the other Bernie bros having peaced out.

              I think leftists overestimate how much Democrats rely on them. Leftists are too prone to take their ball and go home when they don’t get everything they want. This is why they don’t form successful long-term coalitions.

                  I lived though 2020 and 2022, when you said you didn’t vote for Democrats. So I think they’ve already seen the worst of it. Are you going to double not vote for them this year?
