    They won’t. Progressives need to motivate voters to have the old guard outvoted. Just need to give them a reason to show up.

      Progressives are already motivated to vote them out. I think awareness of socialist candidates will work as long as Israel doesn’t post another goddam Hilary Clinton somewhere.

        I wasn’t talking about progressive voters and if progressive voters had the votes Republicans wouldn’t be in control.

          I think there’s a lot of progressive voters don’t know they are except for the actual voting part, until they see a progressive candidate talking about the issues that matter to them and have a chance to vote for that.

          Hey look it’s a liberal trying to deflect blame away from the kinds of people who show up to the primaries to vote for genocide supporting, strike blocking trash like Joe Biden.
