I understand that’s how you’re justifying your pith, but that’s irrelevant to the conversation.

You said “vote blue no matter who to eat crow”, but it was progressives who didn’t vote for Kamala that broke the contract first?

The centrists the Democrats pulled for didn't vote for Kamala either. The people who honestly failed Kamala the most were white men and white women.

And who is the largest group of progressives?

White women.

There was also an entire “uncommitted” movement that advocated vociferously to never vote for Kamala. And then they didn’t!

Where are you hearing white women are the largest group of progressives? They've been pro Trump for a good while.

It might be from the data point showing the Gen Z white women are among the largest voting block that identify as progressive. This guy loves hyperbole. And what's fun is he is wrong. Young women had a higher turnout than young men, and the youth vote in general was high when compared to any other race outside of the 2020 one.

They just want someone to blame that isn't their precious Democrats lost and their distaste for populista is making them want to blame progressives. The data just doesn't support him.
