    Progressive voter intentions are to pressure the Harris campaign to stop the flow of weapons. If she did that she’d have her progressive vote. Progressive leadership climbed in with the Harris campaign early with endorsements. But you’ll notice that AOC has had enough of being ignored and is now unloading on Harris. Progressives wont simply blindly support an AIPAC hand puppet like centrists will.

      Last year, progressives said they could not support Biden because of inflation. Or because of student debt. Or because of the BNSF strike.

      It’s clear Democrats cannot rely on support from progressives, and for this reason it makes sense for Democrats to try to appeal to moderates. Unlike progressives, moderates seem willing to support Democrats as they are instead of requiring them to be something else.
