    That’s not what I said. Moderate dems need to lose to progressives and not to conservatives to move the party left.

      It’ll never happen. Too many primary voters are specifically out to fuck over leftist and progressives. Then they turn around and cry foul when we refuse to show up in the general. Fuck them.

        Maybe not every democrat is a progressive and that’s why they vote against them? That’s democracy, not everyone agrees with you and sometimes you don’t get your way. Gotta work to change people’s mind and not just say fuck ‘em.

          Then they’re responsible for getting their piece of shit candidate elected in the general.

          They won’t. And I’m not going to keep propping up their procorporate trash candidate. If they want my vote they’ll have to hold their nose in the primaries and vote for someone more progressive or leftist than they’d like.

          Don’t like it? That’s democracy, not everyone agrees with you and sometimes you don’t get your way.
