Imagine relentlessly defending attempts to appeal to red states and conservatives as a viable electoral strategy, and then refer to Sanders support on this map as 'empty land'.

Sorry but voters don't get a say in USA. They only can choose between the 2 that their bosses have chosen.
I've been saying since 2016 that Sanders' executive orders alone would have moved the US further in the right direction than any president since LBJ.
The last six months of Donald Trump have proven that. The presidency has all the power any party needs if they actually want to do real good.
I think its hilarious how before Trumps 2nd term, the libshits would argue "but if they use executive orders to push through {legalization of abortion, marijuana, socialized healthcare, public transit, any number of good left leaning policies} the R's will do it back when theyre back in office!!
Now look where we are.
fucking libshits and MAGAts.
Yeah so Biden did an executive order to forgive student debt, it got challenged in the courts and so it didn't happen.
People saying "Democrats should just do executive orders like Trump does" need to look into who's on the Supreme Court.
The "do everything by EO" strat only works for a party that has had a loyal voting base for decades so they have control of the courts.
Sorry to interrupt the "both sides" narrative leftists/MAGAs love so much.
No, the real strat is to ram hundreds of EOs through so fast the courts don't have time to shoot them all down. And then, I dunno, drone strike the opposition and call it an official presidential act cause evidently that's cool now.
It doesn't hurt to try though. Make them actually shoot the EOs down. Don't just assume they will so you do nothing. Force their hand.

Sanders’ EOs with a conservative Supreme Court would have been unilaterally nullified. The conservative supermajority is what has allowed Trump to get away with the vast majority of this.
Sanders’ EOs with a conservative Supreme Court would have been unilaterally nullified.
If they'd run Sanders, they've had ended up with a Democratic supermajority. SCOTUS would have been largely irrelevant.
But it doesn't change facts. The powers of the presidency in the hands of an actual reformer, not a performative one like Biden or Obama, would have entailed true, fundamental change.

every comment in this thread along the lines of
“wElL yOu sHoUldVE vOtEd tHeN!!!1!”
fucking confounds me bc ig you guys either have a weird victim blaming kink or you have massively more faith in our electoral system’s veracity than i do.
Be a lot easier to discuss how well things worked if everyone participated.
i honestly am skeptical of western media’s narrative that everyone is complacent and doesn’t give a fuck. i’ve met a lot of people. every single one of them gives some sort of a shit about politics. it feels like homegrown astroturfing to keep anything from ever actually coming to a head. keep people feeling alone and isolated, hopeless. if 60-80% of americans are complacent, don’t participate civically, and are actively disengaged from the political process… then where are these people? i should be seeing them in droves right? but i’m not, and neither is anyone i know. my network isn’t really geographically limited either. anecdotal evidence regardless, sure, but still suss imo.
i’ve seen the statistics and polls, the election results and non-participant ratio, you don’t need to share those sources with me.
idk, maybe i’m fucking crazy and a conspiracy theorist. a wise man once said that there are lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Why would the dems even want to win, when their co-workers are doing a much better job of passing the fascist policies that they all agree on? Why settle for kamalacaust when trump will go even further?
People should have voted in primaries, then. I did. Both times. Clearly not enough did.

sorry LEFTISTS, I will let fascists fuck us all dead before I steer progress away from anything that isn't Obama-nostalgic capitalism. oh and I'm pretty sure I heard that commie say something about term limits so I'm going to make that all of yous' problem just for even considering it.
Great, now we're doing "land votes" takes just like conservative boomers posting minion memes on Facebook.
I'm so glad to see that the 'left' isn't as fucking braindead as the ghouls on the right. /s
But the land does vote.
That's the whole issue with gerrymandering and the electoral college.

You do see California all blue, right? That’s 10% of the population of the US, just right there.
California, New York, and Florida are in no way just land.

Either Delaware has a population density to rival Kowloon Walled City, or this is a bit more than a "land votes" take
