    and the fact that it’s an election year

    It’s the only time moderate Democrats actually have to listen to progressives, leftists and anyone who isn’t a moderate. The discussions dying down after the elections isn’t by our choice, it’s just that the moderates stop engaging once they have what they need from us.

      If only. No matter how much we shout, the only people that end up elected are moderates. But what is the alternative?

        Personally I will be voting 3rd party or write in. Moderates can’t keep expecting me to vote for their trash candidates.

          Just out of curiosity, since we know a third party candidate will never win, are you indifferent to the results of the election otherwise?

            If my opinion on Biden’s policies isn’t relevant enough to warrant change then my opinion on who wins is just as irrelevant. It can’t be both ways.
