    You spelled “behold the fruits of people who don’t vote because they think its a distinguishable signal which only drives candadites right to capture more voting power” wrong

              Yeah surely it’s not the “bOtH sIDes” crap and third party voting. And the lack of showing up for primaries.

              If progressives were as numerous and dedicated as you think you’d have no issue winning elections.

                Since we can be safely ignored, don’t blame us when your shit candidates lose. We told you they were shit.

                Weird because a whole bunch of us showed up for a primary where there wasn’t any choice and still voted uncommitted. The dem response to that is to shriek we want trump to win, because it turns out they don’t care about our values just that we check the box that keeps them in power.

                  The choice was Dean Phillips. If you didn’t want him either then yeah, too bad. The party isn’t great but let’s not act like Bernie didn’t lose twice in a row. Where were the progressives to vote him in then? Probably online whining but then not showing up. Or… Just not enough of them. Either way, same result. If you only make up 20% of the party it’s insane to expect only “true” progressive candidates. And not ones that stood in picket lines, forgave student loans, passed the biggest climate change bill ever, etc.
