(42,862 posts)19. So, the voters you're describing aren't really "progressive" at all, are they?
A complacent attitude willl only help Trump.
Actually, I'm all in favor of abandoning the "so-called-progressive" voters (ie: the Sarandonesque types) who won't vote for the Democrat. For all the time and effort and expense trying to "motivate" those so-called-progressives to vote for the Democrat, an equal amount of time and effort and expense could instead be devoted to getting ten times as many NEW voters and NEW people to join with the Democrats.
Those on the far-left who desire to blackmail the party when they threaten to withhold their votes only causes the Democratic party to inch more toward the center and even "right-center" to find replacement voters. The non-voting left are sabotaging their own interests and forcing the party to move in the opposite direction to that which they (presumably) want.
If I were to vote in a presidential

Well, you suggested that "progressive" voters need someone OTHER than Harris to motive them...

It won't matter. It's foolish for a candidate to pick his running mate based on "fear of ads"
