        Dude the Dems have never bothered courting leftist votes. We have basically nothing in common ideologically except for maybe some crossover on identity politics stuff. Now y’all want to have our support because your prosecutor status-quo DNC candidate was defeated running on imo terrible unsupportable policies no different to Biden? We don’t do voting for the lesser evil. Put up an actual progressive candidate and leftists will be happy to vote for them. FYI being black or being a woman doesn’t automatically mean you’re progressive. That’s reductive and prioritises identity politics over policy substance. You don’t get to keep your neo-liberal policies and your leftist votes. Pick one or the other. And don’t blame leftists because you keep making the wrong choice.
