It’s impossible for any party to appeal to a majority of voters on everything. If Democrats could have done something to be more appealing to greens than Stein was, then whatever that something was would have turned off some other segment of the coalition, possible losing net votes. Winning a national election requires broad appeal, and being the only viable non-fascist, pro-democracy ticket should have been reason enough for any decent person to vote for the Democratic candidate. I don’t know what these greens want, but not living in a Christo-fascist hellhole is apparently not a high priority for them. Fuck them to hell.
I was responding to a comment that naively implied Dems policy applied to not upsetting majority of voters, like it was purely middle of the road acceptable stuff. It is not, and we shouldn’t pretend it is.
This is a good example of the type of (nominally leftist) person who is essentially unpersuadable. How are you supposed to convince these guys to vote when they don’t see a meaningful difference between MAGA and normie Democrats? They don’t live in reality.

Non-fascist? What was their line on Palestine again? Tutting and selling more weapons?
They didn’t even have policy that appealed to most. They had policy appealed to their donors and it’s really naive if you cannot see that.
The Democrats’ general stance on Israel is appalling, but that does not equate to fascism.
Who said it does?

Democrats are not pro democracy nor non fascist.
