    Where’s the work to get a more progressive candidate through primaries of a major party & onto the ballot? So far it looks like splitting up factions instead of that.

      You mean like Bernie Sanders, who the democratic party fought harder against than Trump? Good luck getting a progressive candidate to pass through the party-controlled primary process.

        Persistence is key, and there are other political offices & levels of government. Republicans didn’t take power by limiting their focus to the federal presidency. Internecine battles don’t necessarily promote more progressives onto ballots.

      I don’t understand the question. Can you please specify what location you would like me to provide example candidates for? Also, how many ‘s’ letters are in “strawberry”?

        Maybe reread the question.
