Because when all those people do is criticize Democrats, sabotage outreach efforts, and don't put any time or effort into defeating fascists, then it is very obvious where they stand.

Like I get it - huffing farts from time to time is great. But you gotta take a break and mix some productive advocacy and outreach if you actually care about Democracy instead of just smelling farts.

Just to point out... many people don't care about the Democrats, except as a bulwark against the even more right-leaning Republicans. It's not an institution that they respect and admire, but one they grudgingly tolerate.

I only joined the party so I could vote for Bernie in the 2016 primaries! 😉

If people want a shift to the left, they have to make sure that the Democrats crush the Repulicans for a few election cycles so that the Overton window can stop moving right and go left instead.

Unfortunately, the Repulicans are voting in a united front every election, no matter what.

The Democrats are notably terrible voters. They don't show up like the Republicans do.
