    I don’t think you understand how politics and elections work.

    If people on the flanks give their voting power to “Blue (or Red) no matter who”, you end up with the Clintons and Bushes of the world. Parties have no incentive to actually do anything for their flanks.

    When people on the flanks leverage their voting power effectively, you get MAGA and Justice Democrats.

    Anyway, hope you learned something today. Otherwise, hope you have a nice day.

      Let me get this straight. Are you seriously claiming that the MAGA crowd seized control of the GOP by protest voting for Democrats in the general elections?

      What you are describing happens in primaries.

      If you vote in the general for an R, oddly enough, politicians think you support the R ticket. Way to kneecap progressives guy.
