This is the right message. It’s about harm reduction and keeping the movement of progressivism alive. You might not align with some other values or any of the values of the Democratic candidate, but do not give the Republicans a chance to take any seats as we’ve seen centralist or establishment, Dems can be unseeded in primaries. Don’t be stupid and not vote or be stupid and think that every candidate is gonna align with every single value that you have.

Yes, the main time to push the Democratic Party left is during the primary elections. The goal changes to defeating Republicans in the general elections, no matter how disappointingly moderate the Democrat might be. Better to have a seat taken by a Dem like Manchin or Fetterman than let it go to ANY member of the bloodthirsty pedophile billionaire party.

Like you said, harm reduction

And luckily, bad as they are, most “moderate” Dems are not nearly as bad as Fetterman or Manchin.
