    All this is incorrect. Sanders votes converted to establishment votes 80-90%, both rounds. Despite a party that pulled dirty tricks both times to undermine the progressive candidates.

    Also you don’t get your agenda based on “but I voted for you” that’s not how power works. You get your agenda based on “do it or I won’t vote for you”

    In both, 2016 and 2020, the progressive vote was recieved, and the progressive voice was promptly discarded.

    They’re right to be jaded AND they should still vote blue. Both of those things are true.
