    You make the choice based on the cards you’re dealt, not the ones you wished you have. Beyond the election though, because you have more time, you try to change the game. People have it ass backwards - trying to change the game during the election, then sit out the tenure whining about the raw deal they have.

      You appeal to the electorate you have, not the electorate you think should exist.

      Yeah, we saw how that worked with Biden.

        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.
