The solution, however, is not to turn further Left, unless the party intends to become even more crazily divisive. When people you think should vote for you don't, it may be more than just the candidate.
They do not, nor will ever think their policies are wrong. Even when they share the thoughts of Stalin, Lenin and Mao, they think, "we can do it so much better than them".
But in the end it all ends in force, you can see it now, they are forcing their life style, non morals and global warming beliefs on the rest of us and now talking of violence and prosecution if you don't tow the line.
Force, eventually death to dissenters, it ALWAYS ends that way.
