It doesn't help that literally every attempt to make use of the system has failed. If they're not supposed to try and integrate into an existing party and they're not supposed to make a new party, what are they supposed to do if they feel unrepresented?

Save for the smart ones like AOC and Crockett.... most of progressive actually are not utilizing the system. Including its voter base.

They value virtue signalling a higher sense of morality, than actually utilizing the system we have. That and they value polls, and gestures that dont amount winning an actual seat in government. For example, many progressives to this day dont understand that even if you dont like both parties, either a Democrat or Republican will win. Don't get me started on their inability to champion progress if its less than perfect. In their world, its all or we mind as well consider it nothing.

You (I speak in general when I say you) can ride on your mile high chariot as much as you want. At the end of the day, elections have consequences, either a Republican or Democrat will win, ..... Republicans are 10x worse, and not voting for Democrats does actively aid Republicans. Republicans who btw actively want to reverse any progressive agendas you like.

Say what you want about Democrats, the majority of Democrats arent the ones leading the charge to reverse progress. Yet the purity warriors will swear up and down Dems are just/almost as bad.
