My post is obviously not right wing. It is about theoretically "progressive" 3rd party voters who, in practice, betray progressive causes by actions that help elect right-wing Presidents.

At the top I also mentioned that, in retrospect, our Democratic candidates in 2000 and 2016 made a few costly mistakes.

Examples:

(1) Al Gore refused to campaign with still popular, very likable and politically talented Bill Clinton.

(2) Hillary Clinton neglected to campaign in important Midwest battleground states late in her campaign.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
