To win back support, the Democratic candidate must offer a positive and coherent vision centered on care and progressive policies, rather than relying solely on anti-Trump rhetoric.

I’ll take the word of political analyst and Democratic Party insider Lawrence O’Donnell over some guy:
The Left Shouldn’t Vote for Corporate Democrats.
Is a political party supposed to serve the people, or are the people supposed to serve the political party?
Is your link third party stuff? (I’m not going to read right now). Third party or otherwise, how’d not voting for Dems work out? Imagine what the situation would be if Gore had won. Yeah it’d be a lot further left. Think about what the situation would be if Hillary had won. Yeah it’d be a lot further left. Instead we got Trump and now we’re looking at a very real chance of disbanding the EPA, FTC, etc.
If you want them to serve you the leftist, guess fucking what, then leftists need to show up to vote. No one is going to cater to leftists that don’t show up to vote. Nope. They are going to go to the center to find the voters that do show up. And a center voter is worth double, because it’s a vote for you and a vote taken away from the other party.
If you want to be courted, you have to actually show up. And if you try to play mexican standoff, guess what, you’re going to lose. They’re going to go to the center to find voters. We’ve seen this time and time again.
Wow, the Ratchet Effect does exist!
Why would I show up if I’m not being courted? It works both ways.
Why would they court you if you’re not showing up? It works both ways.
Using the prisoners dilemma to justify letting everything burn down around you is cool and good.
It’s the explanation of why it’s happening:
