There's always actual progressives on the ballot. It's just too many have fallen for the "lesser evil" brainwashing that they fail to see it. It's no different than the red scare crap we're still trying to kill.
As a lifelong progressive who has voted in every election in the past 26 years, no there are not always actual progressives on the ballot. But your point that we should support them when there is one progressive, even when they cannot hope to win, is also fallacious. Sometimes they could win with our support, and sometimes they could not. Vote accordingly.
