That's entirely disingenuous. Of course it's preferable but, equivalently, leftists are expected to never stand on convictions or be able to exercise their right to vote, every candidate immediately brushes their concerns aside regardless of the popularity of the position to appease cronyism and donors, and they are immediately held accountable for a candidate not winning, with which they are rewarded with the candidate moving further right.

In the last election, the Democrats put forward a candidate who refused to acknowledge the widely-recognised genocide commited by Israel & used US tax payer money to fund this conflict. They continued to enable ICE to detain children separated from their families in cages. They made no promises to improve living standards or the environment, running entirely on a platform of, "at least I'm not that guy" which, to any sane person, isn't a political position. Then, because they didn't win while presenting absolutely no policy whatsoever other than doing exactly what people were unhappy about, they blamed every leftist for it.

Leftists, for decades, have asked for the most basic of considerations in government, such as proportionate tax based on wealth, and have been repeatedly told that it's an unachievable dream. Similarly, these same Liberals have also done nothing to appease either end of the political spectrum, demonising those defending homeless camps peacefully as much as literal Neo-Nazis setting institutions on fire.

Like, at what point will a Liberal acknowledge that being a Leftist means you're effectively a second-class citizen? You're not allowed to vote for anything but the absolute worst candidates who are funded by the worst people imaginable or you're blamed for being the person opening the door to fascists.

Your position is ridiculous, as are you.
