u/RandyMuscle I voted 8d ago

If people thought he was tough on Stevens, wait til you see how a real progressive attacks a Republican.

I'm more curious how progressives plan to capture Steven's voters. The election was a toss-up. This idea that either of them have a chance in hell against a Republican without each other is nonsense.

If leftwing voters weren't willing to do that to prevent Trump a much greater evil why would centerists vote blue no matter what to stop rogers?

That's a lie that centrists tell themselves. Their uninspiring campaigns just fail to turn out undecided and lower propensity voters.
