    You’re projecting. Liberals don’t blame progressives specifically for Republican wins.

    They blame abstainers.

    A record 55% of registered Democrats voted in 2020 to barely secure the win.

    https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2023/07/12/voter-turnout-2018-2022/

    Voting isn’t putting your name on every action of the elector. It’s simply the most effective way to push the nation in one direction versus the other. Sometimes you vote for an elector, sometimes you vote against one, but you should vote regardless.

      You’re projecting. All liberals don’t blame progressives specifically for Republican wins.

      I doubt that very much, but let’s say it’s true. I’d wager that you can’t find an outspoken progressive who hasn’t been blamed by a liberal at one point or another for the loss Clinton earned.

      I was one of those Nader voters you all hate so much. They very much blame progressives for Republican wins.

        So was I. You should stop assuming the position of others.

            So you’re not supporting Trump, you just won’t stand in his way. Got it.

              Sounds like he’s a Democrat.

        Hillary Clinton is not a liberal. She’s a centrist Democrat.

            They’re the bulk of Democrats, between centrists and progressives. Whether they’re more conservative than progressives and more liberal than centrists on social or economic issues depends on the individual.

            It’s the same on the right with centrists, conservatives, and MAGA Republicans (far-right). They have far fewer centrists and far more conservatives than the left has centrists and liberals.

              So that would make Hilary a liberal

          Hillary Clinton is not a liberal. She’s a centrist Democrat.

          Her supporters called her a progressive. She called herself a progressive.

          “Biden is the most progressive president since FDR” is regarded with skepticism from the left for some reason.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
