I’ve participated in dozens of protests. Protests with political organization can lead to change. Protests without political organization are just yelling at a wall.

Protests !== organizing. Organizing achieves political change. Protest does not. Leftists know how to organize, liberals do not.

If liberals don't know how to organize and leftists do, why does the Democratic party dominate elections

Have you heard of COINTELPRO?

Because leftists understand that actual progress doesn’t come from voting?

Have you heard of capitalism?

Liberals don't know how to organize precisely because the Democratic party dominates the elections. No need to organize when the organization already exists. All they need to do is to "vote blue no matter who".
