    When you bring with you almost no votes or support, then what do you expect?

    You need to make up your mind. Either progressives aren’t bringing enough votes to care about, or you need their votes to win. You can’t have it both ways.

    If you need their votes to win, you better start addressing their issues. If you don’t, then stop blaming them for your losses.

      Democrats have won plenty of elections with little support from the left already.

      But when elections are decided by a few percentage points, every vote counts. And if the left can be bothered to put down the bong and get off the couch long enough to go vote, it can be enough to win again Republicans in tight races. But the Left never represwnts a majority of Democratic votes. But it sure seems like liberals want to hold their votes hostage until Democrats give them a disproportionate amount of attention. You know what that’s called? It’s called entitlement.
