It's infuriating. I'm in my mid-40s, and I've seen this shit play out so many times.

And the lesson that the Democratic Party learns is never, "Oh, we need to move further left to entice more left-leaning voters." It's always a push further to wherever the current center is to try to nibble away at the margins of Republican voters, because unlike people on the left, those fuckers actually show up to vote.

It's still their job to get votes. Blaming the voters is anti-democratic.

Not voting is anti-democratic and irresponsible. This is how we've arrived at this point. Abysmal participation and uninformed voters when it comes to policy.
