(55,981 posts)First of all I never indicated that a Republicon won. What you left out of my statement was, " Sadly the Republicons came to the rescue of the Conservative Democrat." It was an open election and I don't believe the Republicons even bothered to have a candidate. No Republicon won.
You seem determined to mislead what I said, I guess, because you are not able to address what I actually said.
Let me spell it out as simply as I can.
Progressives came out in droves to support a progressive Democrats.
Centrist/Conservative Democrats stayed home.
National Republicon money supported the Conservative Democrat.
Republicons liked the Conservative Democrat that they put him in office.
Bottom line is that it isn't the progressives that stay home.
