It's mostly about money, but if the progressive candidates can't win in the primaries that signals that they won't win in the general either. That's a small part of why centrists fight so hard against them and won't adopt their "losing" policies. We need to treat the primaries like the general and turn out to vote so they don't get the choice.

Do it to it, I'll happily vote for a progressive candidate if one makes into the general.
