So, the age old debate and my take on it.
Those who don't vote, won't vote.
Those who vote conservative, vote conservative whether it's a conservative republican or democrat.
Those who vote progressive, often feel that they are forced to vote for conservatives (see above), which is accurate.
Those who vote progressive also often feel like their vote doesn't matter or that elections don't solve anything.
But elections are not supposed to be the only tool we possess to enact change. Elections and voting are one of several tools, and it will take us using every tool available just to be able to start to fix the damage being done.
Replacing our current democratic representatives with progressives means they will likely be ready to make changes that moderates would fear to take on or even talk about. Changes that pragmatists would attack for being unrealistic.
