    Progressives turned out to vote for the obviously less dangerous to America candidate.

    Yes, we did. And we also warned that moving to the right was going to lose Harris the election. We were right.

      So, you did go vote for Harris or didn’t?

        I voted for Harris.

        I also voted for Clinton in 2016 and as a result knew that Democrats were gonna blame the left when moving to the right failed, just like they did in 2016. Democrats should either blame the Republicans they tried to court for not turning out for them, or blame themselves for idiotically expecting that courting Republicans again would work.

        This isn’t 1992. Moving to the right hit a wall 8 years ago, and centrists are too fucking pigheaded to admit it.

          So I guess your original comment should’ve been “MY party lost by listening to centrists” shouldn’t it?

            They’re the party whose candidates I reluctantly vote for.

            Not my party. They don’t want to be my party. They want to be the second Republican party.

              YOUR party lost by trying to be Republican-lite and not running on more progressive policies. I don’t care what you consider yourself (any more than you care about me).

              It’d be cool if we could have productive conversations here but I think it’s becoming very apparent why the Democratic party lost and especially why “the left” will never make any progress in the U.S., the only firing squad the left can muster forms in a circle.

                I have no party. YOUR party represented you by doing what you wanted.

                  Sure thing, I’m a registered independent Vlad.

                  edit: lol at the instant down vote, what you are is increasingly apparent.
