What would the point of electing a dem be if that dem went ahead and enacted the wingnut portion of the republican agenda? Surely, voters can insist on some minimum standards on important issues?
Yes, "our guy at any cost" gave us Trump And if progressives did 'our guy at any cost' maybe the right wing would have to move to the left a little, allowing us to have more progressive candidates. Going for 'Our guy, unless they're progressive' just leads to candidates moving to the right to appeal to right-wing voters, because they're... you know, actually voting.
