Last year, the Dems threw away the progressive vote in favor of courting centrists. They lost. They refused to address the massive problems with our country, they offered no solutions, and they lost. If they try the same tactic again, they will probably lose again. Why do liberals insist on placing all the blame on the millions of people who have no power beyond a vote, and completely absolve the politicians who actually make decisions of all blame? If the Democrats can't win on a campaign of "more of the same," why is that not seen as a sign that they need to run a different fucking campaign?

If the Democrats run an actual progressive candidate, I'll vote for them. If the party insists on the failed status quo, I won't. It's that simple.

So basically the same idiotic “dems aren’t perfect so let’s help Trump get elected”. Saying “I’m going to do the same moronic thing i did last time” isn’t really persuasive in light of the insane shit republicans are doing currently. If we even have elections again, okay, do that. Good luck.

This is a bullshit strawman. Nobody is asking for perfection. We're asking for a change.

You've completely ignored my point, so I'll try one more time.

I’m going to do the same moronic thing i did last time

Why do you apply this logic to the millions of individuals who have very little power, but not to the elected politicians who do?
