      The primary is the time to vote for the candidate you believe in. The general is for whichever aligns better (not perfectly, but better) with your interests. Not that hard.

      Oh good, more shitting on progressives for no good reason.

      While Progressive Left largely backed candidates other than Biden during the 2020 Democratic primaries, they overwhelmingly voted for him in the general election and now solidly support him. A September survey found a large majority approves of Biden’s job performance (82%), and majorities express confidence in his handling of most issues.

      Pew

      It just seems like you hate progressives for no particular reason despite them being the passionate part of the party.

      But who knows, maybe electing a centrist will work this time; after all, we’ve got to get those sweet conservative votes.

          Very good! I’m so proud of you.

          Now do you have any reason beyond your feelings as to why you blame the progressives in 2024? I’m talking data.

          I showed you mine, let’s see yours.

              I was not aware that Biden was president in 2020.

              So… Just feelings then. Good to know.

                This is your source, correct?

                  It is!

                  Are you suggesting that the progressives did a 180 on their priorities and hatred for Trump? Because that seems like a ridiculous thing to believe about the most engaged segment of Democratic voters.

                  Those must be some pretty powerful feelings you’ve got.

                    You’re talking about 2020.

                    Why did people vote for both AOC and Trump on the same ticket?

                    A good number of the progressives are also accelerationists.

        what’s sad is still believing in a two party system both paid by the same entities.
