Many progressives will argue that supporting a third party is unrealistic, and that Ned Lamont’s primary victory is proof that they are “taking back” the Democratic Party. It looks more like it’s the Democratic Party that is once again taking them for a ride.

Progressives had better start asking themselves when they’ll gain the stomach to drop the “unrealistic” line and support anti-war candidates, or when they can get around to admitting that “progressive” is just another word for Democrat.
