the progressive voting block don’t deserve a candidate because they are too few to matter.

I am a progressive. We deserve a candidate. So fucking show up to the primaries next time.

Watching Bernie get a fucking quarter of the vote in 2020 was heartbreaking.

the progressive voting block not voting against their interest is why the democrats lost the election.

You do realize that the election was lost by under 2%, right?

Would you like to extend that logic, that any interest group that can sink a candidacy is also entitled to dictate to the party whatever terms it likes, and holds no responsibility for the outcome if the party does not sufficiently compromise with them, in their view?

If you want support from people, you have to give them SOMETHING besides just not being the other person. Continuing unyielding support for genocide (but maybe occasional giving them 10 bombs instead of 20) and telling people that human rights are for states to decide is the exact opposite of giving those voters ANYTHING.
