Why is the moral obligation on the progressives to join with the centrists? The progressives should start their own party. Then we can tell the centrists that they can get on board. And if they don’t, it’s their fault Republicans win. This street goes both ways.
As long as the rich stay rich - whether R in charge or centrist D, the donors are happy and the money keeps coming.
Ds lose? They win. The Rs lose to a centrist? They win.
A progressive splits the ticket and causes an R to win? They win.
Primary them in their own party? They lose. It’s the only viable option in our current federal election structure.
Threatening the donor class’s comically massive piles of wealth is the only thing that motivates the centrist Ds to act… because that is the only thing that could adversely effect the ultimate goal of centrists.
Splitting the ticket will screw only those whose goals are diametrically opposed to both the Rs and centrist Ds… splitting it will only screw us.
