MODERATORS
Jacksonville recently ran an actual progressive candidate and won, so I agree.
Progressives would overwhelmingly win almost everywhere, I feel, which is why they aren't allowed to run normally.
A progressive candidate for the Mayor of Buffalo who had won the Democratic primary lost to the moderate incumbent who was literally a write-in candidate.
Progressive candidates work well in some locations, but it's simply false to say that they "overwhelmingly win almost everywhere". Have you ever lived in a rural community, or the south?
No one shows up to primaries
