      There’s nothing to dodge; the answer is obvious. It’s exactly why I asked about women in the same framing.

      I’m beginning to think you’re not interested in understanding your mistake.

        I’m just pointing out that in the sixty presidential elections so far leftists have never gotten the presidency or even second place.

          Yes, I am well aware of what you are saying.

          Maybe I should try a different angle: So what? What should I do with this information?

              So you don’t know what point you were trying to make? Weird.

                I responded to this:

                The typical centrist Democrat is historically unelectable and yet they still feel like they’re in a position to lecture progressives on electability, when it should be the other way around.

                With this before you jumped in:

                Democrats get the presidency roughly fifty percent of the time.

                What’s the leftist percentage?

                I’m not sure why you’re so confused by the point I feel I laid it out pretty clearly there.
