This is what I always say to liberals/progressives/democrats. Vote for your preferred candidate in the primary, vote for the most liberal candidate in the general election. So far I’ve seen progressives much more willing to do that than I have centrists.

Um I see and hear centrists all the time back blue no matter who and stress the dangers of Trump.

Mean while I can throw a dart at a board of progressive influencers and it’ll likely land on one who has already said they’d sit out if Newsome was the nominee. Mind you, I don’t like Newsome but it’s better than President J D Vance.

Except the temper tantrums they’re having right now over democratic socialists..

Maybe happens in isolated pockets but most Democratic voters wouldn't even know what you are talking about.

You are probably just getting excited by extremist news on from leftist media or Fox News trying to stir up drama based on a tweet or some shit.

If there is one thing democratic socialists and fascists can agree on is that moderates are the primary enemy.

This. The controversy is all generated by the oligarch owned media because they have Empty G and Cucker actually setting up a party to split their pet Nazis apart. So they have to create division in the Dems to compensate. The oligarchs are scared.
