        I never said that you mentioned progressives. I am saying that the more progressives win future elections and deliver on their promises, the more people who stopped voting will regain hope and participate.

                Someone doesn’t remember when exactly that happened in 2016; the DNC ignored the voters and nominated their preferred candidate anyway.

                  Stop lying. It’s 2026 and information is pretty easy to access.
