    Play the game you’re playing, not the one you wish you were.

    I am. I hope to demonstrate the Democrat party is non-viable when it refuses to make material compromises with leftists and progressives.

      You admit it’s not a way forward, but then argue as if it is. I don’t follow.

          Who are you even voting for?

              Chances are way higher that you get someone through the primaries on a major ticket and they win the election. Probably nearly infinitely so.

                What are you basing this on?

                  You said earlier that even if progressives got someone through on the dem ticket, that they would still lose the general election because liberals would vote republican.

                  And you need it explained why writing someone in has even less of a shot?

                    You need to re-read my goal of writing someone in. Yes, getting someone decent through the primaries and hoping liberals support them in the general has less of a shot than demonstrating the Democrat party is non-viable in it’s current state by writing in or voting 3rd party.
