    The alternative is the Dems adopting a legitimate progressive platform. Liberals will stand on their heads before they support a progressive candidate. Case-in-point Zohran Mamdani.

    There’s a clear path for gaining the support of the the greater American public. They kneecapped Bernie in 2016 and they’ll do it again and again until we make it clear we won’t budge. If Newsome runs for president we are virtually guaranteed a Vance presidency in 2028. Mark my words.

        It doesn’t, it just makes people like the OP feel better about themselves. The ‘greater American public’ have time and time again shown they are not interested in a progressive candidate. Even Biden and Obama in the grand scale of things are not progressives.
