    Progressive candidates lose elections, which is rather the problem here. There aren’t as many of you as your online circles would have you believe

      By that logic since world peace hasnt been achieved, we need to give up.

      That climate change is still happening, so fuck doing anything about.

      That a wealthy ruling class has always existed so it always will.

      That children dying of hunger is part of life and we just need to move on.

      Is that really the outlook of “moderates”?

      If something is bad, just accept it. Nothing will ever improve so stop trying

      It really explains a lot

        This is a nonsensical interpretation of what I’ve said. If you lose elections, you don’t get a say in how the country runs. Progressives aren’t popular, and suggesting the system is rigged rather than piss-poor communication and outreach among progressives (combined with a total unwillingness to compromise and the fiery rhetoric that entails) is the reason why.
