    Right now, progressives are the ones saying “Democrats have failed and I cannot vote for them” and moderates are the ones saying “I’ve never voted for Democrats before, but this year I will.” This was true even before the Gaza invasion.

    When someone tells you their voting intentions, believe them. Unfortunately, Democrats have no choice but to prioritize moderates.

      If that’s the case then there should be no argument from Dems about leftists voting third party in swing states.

        Democrats argue with Trump supporters all the time, I see no reason why third party voters should get a pass. Especially when those two groups have so much in common.

      Those “progressives” you’re writing about are children in university who think they are sheltered from the impact of Donald by mommy and daddy’s money.

      Neither party gives a shit about what any youths say. Young adults (statistically) don’t actually show up to vote. 1/3 of the country just doesn’t vote.

      I wish they did show up to vote at all so that it would make sense for Dems to chase their votes instead of moving further right. It would be cool to be discussing policies that help people instead of arguing about who will do the least amount of genocide.

        Young adults show up to vote. Not as much as older generations, but they do. They also vote more when their candidate is any good.

          Statistically, they do not show up in numbers that matter as much as the older generations.
