I don't care where you vote. I'm just pointing out the left, as in Marxist or some type of other socialists, are unpopular for actual reasons. This victim mentality where all of the left's loses are the fault of someone else (bonus points if it's a part of a conspiracy theory) and that your views are untouchable is just narcissistic.

The reason why the left is ignored in America, or anywhere really, is because they put themselves in that position. They support shitty ideologies, they're consistently anti American in rhetoric, they refuse to compromise, they constantly support tyrants and terrorist groups, they literally attack anybody who doesn't 100% agree with them (like calling anybody you don't like a nazi), they're okay with thuggish tactics, their messaging is horrible, and most of the views aren't even pragmatic. Americans are very open to social democracy and a strong welfare state, but nobody wants to support a shitty Marxist calling them and their country evil and how they want to burn down the country in favor of a system that killed millions. Why would the American populace support this? They obviously won't and that's why the number of leftists is small and irrelevant. It's Leftists aren't alone in this, Libertarians are also irrelevant for the same reasons.
