      “You don’t vote” is what Democrats say to anyone they don’t want to listen to, regardless of whether they actually vote.

        Democrats need to listen to people who vote.

        But the person I replied to said they also need to worry about nonvoters. They don’t. Nonvoters don’t matter.

          If they follow that logic they’ll never win, because the number of people who will unconditionally vote Dem is demonstrably not enough to win an election.

            They don’t care about winning if it means lowering themselves to the level of trying to court voters.

          When it’s time to decide on policy, they don’t. When assigning blame, they’re the only thing that matters.

          But they are always conveniently whoever the party doesn’t want to listen to.
