They have proven that they can be forced to do the right thing when they have no alternative. They got rid of Biden when even their most optimistic polls showed him losing, and Harris's popularity didn't crater fast enough when she started to embrace the policies that killed the Biden campaign for them to get back on course.

Didn't you hear? It's actually because she's a woman. Women can't win now that progressives have an obvious popular female candidate and centrists don't.

So you're saying even when they listened to you, they still picked a moderate liberal who's complicit with genocide and brags about drilling for oil.

You cannot scare them into doing the right thing. They're too stupid. Stop going after this pie in the sky and accept the world we live in. I can't believe that I have to explain to you that the democrats are stupid. Why do you have so much faith in them?

She only started when her popularity let the dems believe they could use the same policy. I have zero faith in the dems moral fortitude or intelligence, I am only going off what has motivated dems to pretend they want what we want in the past.

Nothing has motivated them to do that in the past decade+. Whatever goodness and ability to adapt to the people's wishes you're seeing in them, it's not there. Please stop defending the democrats.
