(20,709 posts)Being able to sway a presidential election is quite a bit of power. Like I said, maybe their effect wasn't decisive in 2016. But it cannot be rationally denied that it was decisive in 2000, where with a few hundred more votes, there wouldn't have been a recount or SCOTUS or anything.
And, sure, some of the Greens might not have voted for the Dem in either 2016 or 2000. But some would have. Moreover, without the constant false-equivalence rhetoric coming out of lefty media, there would be less people on the left dissatisfied with the Dems.
Yes, there are a lot of things the Dems should be doing better. And there are a lot of discussions here and elsewhere about those things.
My point is that the far left is constantly telling the Dems what it thinks they should do. Why doesn't the far left worry about what *they* are doing, before lecturing others. Because their strategy in the last few decades has been a dismal failure.
