71. Fair enough. Now explain why progressives should vote for a candidate who doesn't agree with them.

I know you can post the same old things like "say hello to president Palin" or "don't let the door split ya..." but can you explain why progressives should continue to vote for a president or party that explicitly disregards their political views?

If our choice is between going right wing or very right wing, why wouldn't we try to bolster up a new left wing?
