    There aren’t that many left wing voters in the us, there would be if the vote existed in earnest but we all know if a socialist wins a socialist signs their death warrant the same day.

      There would be if the so-called left of center (actually center right to right wing) party would stop alienating the left into becoming nonvoters.

      there would be if the vote existed

      Wtf does that even mean?

      we all know if a socialist wins a socialist signs their death warrant the same day.

      First of all, nobody knows that. Because it’s bullshit.

      Second, the left is SO much more than just socialists. Your reductionism isn’t cleverness and it isn’t helpful.

        There would be yes, currently there aren’t.

        You just said it, people don’t vote left because it’s a throw away via, they view Dem against their best interest.

        Yes yes, as we all know America loves a socialist, none have been g family jailed or murdered for being vocal socialists…

        Sure, but the two most main stream sects of the farthest left being socialism and communism so not exist in American politics.
