    Unfortunately progressives are a very small percentage of the electorate and have proven time and time again they aren’t going to show up to vote. In fact progressives so rarely show up that they’ve effectively removed themselves as members of the electorate.

      Who is there for progressives to vote for that will represent their views? People whose interests aren’t represented by any candidate not voting for any candidate is entirely predictable.
