If leftists are an important bloc, isn't it on the fucking campaign to throw them a bone? So why are Democrats ignoring leftist concerns and, instead, courting Republican voters by doing shit like considering Liz Cheney for a cabinet position?
I'm a leftist, I'm going to vote blue down ticket, but I'm absolutely not going to pretend like it's some mystery why leftists, especially the younger cohort, are not motivated to vote.
It's totally fair for a campaign to ask people why they don't vote, but when they tell them, isn't it then on the fucking campaign to *do* something with that information?
Democrats: "Why aren't young people voting?"
Young people explain why.
Democrats: "Okay, but that's dumb. You know you're dumb for not voting because of that, right? Stop being dumb and vote."
Democrats after they lose: "Maybe we should have called more young people dumb..."
