Problem is in a lot of places those with the D next to their name aren’t progressive with the only ones that actually are being third party. So not only do you have to convince a non-voter to vote, but you have to convince them to support someone that’s not part of the 2 major parties.
Even in primaries there’s just not an option. In my area everyone just tries to get right wing votes, including the Dems with many straight up just calling themselves conservatives that don’t agree with the direction that party took. I’ve yet to see anyone every running to represent the party even on a small scale advocating for leftist values.
