sooo....IF we hold our nose and elect DLC candidates, then what comes

AFTER the election?

All pro-DLC people make their arguments UP TO THE POINT OF WINNING THE ELECTION. They never discuss what happens after, and for good reason.

here's the undisclosed logic puzzle: we are told that we should forego our progressive issues in order to have a democrat, any democrat elected.
ok. that means a pro-republican issue DLC democratic candidate gets elected. ok.

now, progressives have compromised their own issues for that to happen. ok.

sooo...now that the DLC candidate is elected, there are two possible post-election outcomes:

A: They then morph into someone who will NOW support progressive issues.
if so, isn't that fraudulently representing yourself to get elected? Is that fair to moderates or centrists who voted for them who might not like progressive issues?

B: (the most likely possibility) The DLC candidate votes as advertised: along republican lines on progressive issues.
If so, doesn't that completely disenfranchise progressives within their own party? If progressives sacrifice their issues, for the golden ring of a "dem, any dem", what do they get in return?
Not only are their issues ignored, they further empower the very base that works AGAINST their issues. The more you elect DLC rightists, the more right the party drifts, the less plausible is the ability to achieve progressive causes.
