Against almost any Republican candidate, almost any progressives (including me) will vote for the Democrat. The Democrats know that and so do their paymasters. We're trapped by a pay to play two party political system where most of the pay comes from the wealthiest Americans, few of whom are progressive. Most of us also know that sitting out an election or voting for a third party helps throw elections to the party we oppose more. We are also aware that our elected representatives spend more time begging their moneyed contributors for bucks to sucker progressives into voting for them than they actually spend governing like conservatives. There it is. The only question is what, if anything, can be done about it.
