I keep saying this: if Democrats want me to vote for them, they need to run better candidates that represent my interests.

Why does 'falling in line' always have to be a one-way street? It's always the progressives' fault, never the centrists or neoliberals.

That's by design, because progressives actually want to reduce the disparity in wealth. The American 'left' is filled of greedy, entitled consumerists just like the right. It's why they want to squabble over the culture war while ignoring the class war.
