And by not voting you’re ensuring that positive change will have a much harder time occuring.

Liberals and moderates by not materially compromising with leftists and progressives are ensuring that positive change has and will continue to have a much harder time occurring.

Your judgement cuts both ways you know.

They are way more likely to do so than Republicans that's for sure

All you have to do is look at voting records to see that

All you have to do is see the break down for who voted for the Respect for Marriage Act for an easy example

Give me an example of liberals and moderates making a material compromise with leftists and progressives during Biden's term. Show me any time they have sacrificed a policy position in order to get the votes of progressives and leftists.
