When the progressive movement would rather die on the purity of your ideas then support a less then prefect candidate? Or one that has a little dirt on their hands. Or win a certain way.

Because it's clearly not working.

When I first signed up to vote in 2007 I voted straight republican for years without question. It wasn't until trump that I began to question them and Charlottesville that I walked away.

Before then I hated the left you seemed weak and disorganized not knowing what you wanted. And I was right.

You got some really great ideas. Healthcare for all, better education, ending needless wars, etc. But there just that ideas. That are explained in such a way most people don't like them. And that's it.

Your unwilling to change how you present your ideas. Yes I admit I'm not good at this either. Or accept a compromise that at least takes steps towards your goal. When something doesn't go your way it's the DNC and fake news fault. Wait is that you or maga?

Staying with change AOC has I understand it has been catching hell from you people. Why she is changing. Why to make the progressive movement stronger. To make it stronger and alot of you don't like it?

I saw on another post here the guy used the phase Rome wasn't built in a day. I have used similar phases, no war was won in a single battle, sometimes you got to cut your loses and lose ground to win. And united we stand divided we fall.

That's this election biden is cutting your loses. He's a terrible guy but he is the nominee like it or not. Do you die on your ideas or live? Cause after this your done trump will pick Ginsberg's replacement and no one will care about your little ideas.

Now on to this silly little protest vote. I don't know what you people are trying to do it's not going to work. I have talked to sitting state senator years ago about people who don't vote because they didn't like their parties nominee. Her response no one cares about them. We are working on making sure our voters are happy. And the few that didn't vote or voted for another candidate is so small it doesn't matter.

And lastly how big is the progressive movement or at least the progressive voter block? It's not just that the DNC and media don't like you it's that they know the progressive movement is not only small but also that it's voter block is even smaller.

Time after time you don't show up to vote in the primaries let along in November and if you do it's not for the democrat.

Whatever I just joined to post this it's not polished like I want but it's here and I'll be leaving in a few days cause I've got enough politics in my life.
