minus-squaredavidagain@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·26 days ago Do you think the Dems analyze the percentage of votes based on the beliefs of their voters? No, I think they see the republicans win with right wing policies, sigh and say “I guess we’ve gotta do some of that shit to get elected.”
minus-squareCowbee [he/him]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·26 days agoDo you think the Dems try to serve their voters, or their donors?
minus-squaredavidagain@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·26 days agoThey try to gain power, and they follow the votes that count towards the result. They ignore the votes that ignore the contest. You seem to think they pay attention to the non voters’ views more than the voters views, which is irrational.
minus-squareCowbee [he/him]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·26 days agoYou keep pretending third party voters are non-voters, which is definitionally false. The Dems follow the money, which comes from their donors. This drives policy. For electoralism, they gesture to their voterbase, but this doesn’t impact their real policy.

minus-squareCowbee [he/him]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·26 days agoIt certainly affects the outcome, it signals support for ending genocide and delegitimizes the system.
minus-squaredavidagain@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·26 days agoNo, it makes no difference at all. Trump will win or Harris will win. If Trump wins, the democrats will move right to try to win again.
