    “Your” party didn’t even show up, why would anyone listen to them?

    Progressives don’t have a party that even considers representing them.

      And yet there are more than enough that you expect the Democratic party to bend the knee to you?

      I consider myself a progressive. The genocide in Palestine is a big problem for me, and I resent being lumped in with liberals simply because I understand politics and math enough to vote for Harris instead of aiding in Palestine’s destruction.

      But I also understand that progressives are a small minority of voters in the US, and am not deluded enough to believe that Democrats will pander to me when it makes no tangible difference come election time.

      It doesn’t matter how many people agree with progressive policies when you ask them, when they don’t fucking vote and aren’t doing anything whatsoever to organize and win elections down-ballot.

      Where is the Green Party? They’ve already vanished, and we won’t see or hear anything from them for 4 years.

      Why is it that progressives can’t seem to organize a real political party if there are so many of us?

      Progressives turned out to vote for the obviously less dangerous to America candidate.

      Terminally online internet leftists sat at home in their basements and want feel like they’re revolutionaries.

      Start a revolution champ, we’re all waiting.
