Not sure what you’re getting at with this comment. Anyone is welcome to vote, regardless of their views. If you want a say in the primary, vote in the primary.
What you wrote doesn’t follow from what I wrote. I wrote that centrists are unreliable voters whose concerns we can safely ignore. Which is what centrists say about progressives.
You pretended that I was talking about not letting people vote, which isn’t what I’m saying.
How on earth did you get to that conclusion? Where is your data showing that Lee isn’t popular in her district or that centrists didn’t turn out to vote? You are clearly arguing that these results don’t reflect the electorate in her district, which I just cannot wrap my head around.

That’s what I’m saying. Centrists don’t need such data when they summarily announce that progressives don’t turn out. They don’t need such data to gleefully announce that progressives’ concerns can be ignored. Why is it different now?

Sorry that most are missing what you’re saying (as of when I wrote this reply, hope things reverse over time to make this comment look out of place). It was pretty clear to me. It’s a satire of the reasoning (excuse?) the Democrats sometimes use to dismiss progressive positions and stick with the neoliberal ideals.

Replace “centrists” with “progressives” and you have centrists’ rationale for ignoring progressives.
Who is ignoring anyone? It’s an election?
Re-read what I wrote.

You are clearly trying to put words in my mouth.
