progressives dont even make up the majority of the democratic party so they def dont make up the majority of americans (unfortunately).

progressive power is overwhelmingly clustered into a few areas. northeast, west coast, minnesota, and colorado.

presidential elections are increasingly decided by a handful of states and none of them are progressive bastions. in fact...many of them are trending redder (oh, fl, ia, etc).

picking candidates that dont appeal to voters all across the nation...especially in crucial electoral college states...is political suicide.
