You're a needy crewmate. If I didn't think you were too sincere to be believed as anything else I'd guess you'd found the most effective way to scare people off from voting for Democrats. How do I know you're not a troll? I don't care if you think I'm a troll. I'm definitely just like 10x further to the left than you, and you're so bought into the party line, that you think I both "HAVE TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC" and I can't want things from my elected representatives.

I'm sure you're converting hundreds and thousands with your philosophy of "you have to vote my way or the world will end" and "don't complain about the things you don't like to the elected officials or we might not win."

If Democrats want to have a guaranteed progressive vote, they should make good on some of their promises to the progressive wing of the party. Progressives are more reliably democratic than anyone else, and yet we take the most shit from assholes like you who think that criticism == voting for the other party.
