voting blue no matter who tells the Dem party apparatus that they can run anyone as long as they wear a blue tie. that just pushes the party further and further to the right. if you actually want “progressive” candidates, grow a spine and dont vote for “moderate” dems in ANY election
This is just basic logic. If your faction always caves and votes with the mainstay of the party then it isn't really a faction, more just a group of whiners. You have to be willing to lose it for the team if you want to be taken seriously. (Not that I think there's really anything to be gained from going to the mats in the primaries but whatever let the succdems do their thing I guess)
