    And how does electing Republicans improve things? Because not voting Dem in the general results in Republicans being elected. And THAT sends the message that the party should cater more to those who do vote, which swings the party to the right.

      It’s a false choice when your only options are fascists.

      Consider Jim Justice, for instance.

                  I’ve got some more terrible news for you.

                  Outside of the races for Congress, progressives had a very good night in Michigan. They won multiple open legislative seats against establishment-backed opponents in Grand Rapids, Lansing, Kalamazoo, and Detroit. The DSA also flipped a seat in Detroit!

                  Socialists are absolutely running the liberal Dems off the board

                    Which party do those progressives belong to, again?

                    I’ve got some more terrible news for you.

                    Why would this be terrible for me, specifically? I vote for Democrats.
