The more progressives win, the more influence they can exert on the party.

this has been the entire reasoning behind voting for the "lesser evil" for a majority of the last century and it has ended up with those unprepared and unwilling democrats in charge.

why would it be different now?

    Centrists are no longer able to effectively keep progressives from winning.

    some progressives have always broken through; that's why we have bernie, aoc, omar, pressley, etc. and those numbers already outmatch the few recent victories that progressives have enjoyed.

    to be fair: i hope that you're right, but i doubt it very much as i watch americans start to blame the epstein illuminati on russia.
