The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.

Don’t ever ask for progressives’ vote again. We’re done voting blue no matter who.

So where, pray tell, do the progressive votes go?

Primary them sure. Try and snag it back. But you won't turn your next vote red. You know that. And they know that. And I sure as fuck won't do it either. The DNC can rot. But...

You can and should blame the two party system sure. But if you don't primary and win. Well. We've seen that before again and again.

I'm a progressive that will vote blue again. Reluctantly. Emphatically so. But I will.

The posturing of principals means nothing in our political reality. And it pisses me off. But reality doesn't care about your feelings.

Honestly, maybe it's time for progressives to take over the Republican party primary and start moving them left .

They basically were until the tea party came in and yanked them back
