    You completely ignored the thrust of my argument. Why should progressives running against democrats while railing against the Democratic Party expect a helping hand from their opponent/the democratic party?

    I have worked successful progressive campaigns and let me tell you, that’s not an expectation of winning candidates.

      Why should progressives get treated worse by democrats than republicans do? You’re acting like progressives are instigating here.

        Where on earth are you getting that idea? They aren’t treated worse because that makes no sense. They are in a primary, they are direct competitors. There are no Republicans in the democratic primaries.
