Not sure how progressive, you mean. If you do not attract moderate or independent voters you cannot win the states that get you the electoral college. You have to win in the rust belt like Penn, Michigan, Ohio, or you have to win something in the South like Florida, or Texas. The kind of progressive candidates you are talking about, will not win in purple.Would you rather see the democratic nominee be more middle of the road or more progressive?
My personal choice would be to see a more progressive candidate be chosen. I think we lose too many folks when we try for a middle of the road candidate to try to get some republican votes. This time around I think that would be a losing proposition. Don't waste time and effort trying to convert republicans to vote democratic. Middle of the road candidates are not what we need to clean up the mess we have in politics. We need folks who are going to take on big money and corporate america. The divide between the very wealthy and everyone else is getting to the tipping point. It's time for a change.

Sad news to report, the 'younger generation' almost never shows up. I don't know how many times, in my lifetime a candidate was sold on this 'dream.I'm not so sure that holds true any longer. There were some red states that came dang close to being flipped. Beside that, the younger generations, the ones being shot at in schools, I don't think the majority of them will vote R. Politics is becoming more about social issues than financial issues.
Are you saying that a "middle-of-the-road" candidate is just another word for "passive", do nothing, don't rock the boat, what's the point in being there candidate ?
The President is a leader or is at least supposed to be. What's the point of a president who doesn't offer leadership and prefers to stand still.
Political and economic inertia helps no-one.

Worst came to worst, I would rather have a president who stands still and accomplishes nothing, than one who drags the country backwards.

In Barack Obama you had both!
Clever. Thanks for letting everyone know where you stand. Dismissed.

You just provided the perfect demonstration of what's wrong with the prog mind: "Hate everything and everyone who doesn't think like you".Would you rather see the democratic nominee be more middle of the road or more progressive?

Here's an idea - everyone who's been shot at votes Democrat, everyone who hasn't votes Republican? Deal?I'm not so sure that holds true any longer. There were some red states that came dang close to being flipped. Beside that, the younger generations, the ones being shot at in schools, I don't think the majority of them will vote R.

It drips from everything you say.As my last response to you this evening, where do you get hate out of my post.
Can you possibly be that tone deaf? Look at the nasty accusations you made about those on the right.bongwaway said:I said not waste time trying to convert republicans to the dems side, that's hate to you? And I also said my personal preference would be a more progressive candidate. I didn't say I was right, I stated my opinion. This is why I don't answer you much. The R's have told their base who they officially support in 2020, if he's still around and are daring anyone to primary him. My question included a couple choices. See the difference?
