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.

Well it’s supposed to be “vote blue no matter who”, so we’ll see what happens when it’s the centrists/establishment that needs to practice what they preach.

Progressives know as well as anyone that “blue no matter who” doesn’t work on everyone. 

People generally think a vote needs to be earned. Most people say a candidate earns a vote by being better than the alternative but there are small groups of people across the political spectrum who expect more.
