Exactly. You want more progressive candidates to have a chance? Stop whining and do these things:
- try to get ranked choice voting passed in more states
- establish evergreen GOTV organizations that will reliably get your candidates significant support
- go hard at deep-blue seats where no Republican is going to win anyway
- put up candidates in hopeless red seats (you never know when the GOP candidate will get arrested for chlid porn or something), especially when the mainline Democratic party declines to run someone, like idiots
Etc.... All much better than the quadrennial circle jerk about how Bernie is the best candidate,
if only people would see....
