The people like yourself, that complained about our only choice other than fascism, are the ones to blame for getting fascism elected.

Good thing Gaza protestors didn’t vote for “Genocide Joe”. /s
This is an oversimplification that ignores nuance.
It’s like saying “everyone dies one day, so whatever symptoms you are experiencing automatically mean you are dying now”.
This is all part of the natural life cycle of empires. Best case scenario is they fizzle out with protection from another empire, like Great Britain did. Worst case scenario is really bad.
You’re saying Russia is invading Ukraine and China is getting ready to invade Taiwan because the US has less control because of decadence?

This isn’t even the first time in US history that they’ve become isolationist.

It looks like all the Russian agents (Republicans) are trying to spoil US relations with Europe. Why would Putin want them to do that?
They downvote you because you spoke the truth
This is why leftists consistently lose elections.
Why do Democrats talk like they can win elections but then blame voters when they lose?
Because they’ve won the majority of elections in the last 3 decades. They arent blaming voters when they lose. The voters that voted democrat are blaming leftists for not voting and getting Trump elected.
And to be honest, I don't really even follow your post. Are Democrats not progressives? Are we agreeing that they are center right and that their base isn't really motivated to vote for that?
Democrats have been moving left since Obama. Leftist didn’t show up to vote this elections because of Gaza so they got Trump elected. So now democrats need to cater to the right to increase voter turnout.
Why is it that progressives consistently lose elections but talk like they know how to win elections?
If progressives know how to win better than democrats why do they keep losing elections?
We are in an echo chamber. Downvotes on lemmy do not reflect a real world consensus on opinions.
Literally anyone can run in a closed primary. A closed primary means that only registered members of the party can vote in the primary.
Winning the primary decides whether or not someone can run as a candidate in the general election. Either you need that explained because you don’t know anything about primaries or you are pretending to not understand what you’re reading.
There are only 15 states that hold closed primaries. I live in a state with open primaries, and I'm repped by Ed Markey, Elizabeth Warren, and Ayanna Pressley. Not exactly a bunch of secret conservatives, is it?
Your reading comprehension is failing you again. Having no vetting process doesn’t guarentee the candidate is a “secret conservative” it just increases the chances of it happening. I’m surprised I need to explain that again.
It isn't. Sit down, you don't know what you're talking about.
It’s literally the definition of what they are doing with closed primaries. Why does that need to be explained to you?

It didn’t hold Dems accountable. It got Trump elected because that was the intent all along.
There are many constituents that support Israel. As you pointed out yourself it is a politicians job to represent those constituents.
The bad guys in this are the bad faith actors that use Gaza to justify helping Trump get elected.
They ALL claim they voted for Harris while in the same breath spreading FUD towards Harris.
