Because progressives don't fucking vote and give power to Republicans by doing so. If you refuse to participate in the system then you don't get to be upset when the system disregards you.

    Over several decades, progressives are told to vote for the lesser evil, they do, and then the lesser evil helps the greater evil silence progressive voices, so that progressives eventually find out they can't vote anymore.

    You don't know what you're talking about.

    If progressives voted in every election over the last several decades we'd have a progressive democratic party, but progressives mostly don't vote. You sound like a republican.
