19. That is bullshit. You can't win everywhere with a progressive message...and we need to

win now. We need a 50-state strategy as Dean ran for the president. And we need all county strategy in every state...we need to go everywhere and shave off votes in red areas. This will allow us to win statewide elections...you speak ideology, and I speak winning. We have some promising areas this year. PA for example Fetterman is a progressive but he has the ability to win. We have a couple of other candidates that are progressive too.

But I merely wish to win at this point. I view holding onto excessive ideology as why we lose. After a primary, all Democrats need to vote for the candidate...and if we say nice things about our elected instead of bashing them perhaps more would be like to vote for our party.
