They gripe about the state of our country and late-stage capitalism and looking down their noses at everyone, but they can’t seem to bring themselves to vote.

    I think you mean progressives.

    The issue there, is not having a progressive party to vote for.

    The Democrats have been nearly as as tied to Neoliberal Capitalism as the Republicans. They only done the bare minimum to court progressives, so as to not upset the big donating ownership class.

    But perhapse if they loose enough, they might catch on and start to embrace economic-populism.

    I voted for them. But I can’t blame people who don’t. We’ve been ignored for decades now.

    I voted. Trump shit on the chessboard and declared victory anyway, and the people who should be the checks and balances just rolled over and capitulated to a domestic terrorist. So tell me more about how it’s my fault as a citizen.

    A lot of liberals do vote. I think you meant "for those liberals that don’t vote, why don’t they vote "
