Of course not. I just think that you're overlooking the degree to which progressives are always upset with the Democrats.

And that's the truth. In a couple of elections I spent some time trying to get progressives, etc., from throwing away their vote on Nader or whatever. Some focus on purity, others are just angry. I do three step voting. First step, which way do I want the country to go? Second step, what are the issues? Which way there? Third step, which is priority? Well the third step usually goes back to the first step - does the country need to go right or left? This country has been needing to go left for most of my adult life. We have shifted so far right we are staring at authoritarianism in the face. We have an unhinged leader on the right. I do believe that he would take the DOJ and go after his enemies. So we need to get out the vote and convince progs how dire it is. Since they tend to be argumentative zealots - tough road.
