What are you talking about? Progressives are the least reliable voting block in the US. This isn't some speculation, it is a known, well-studied fact. It is the very same fact that leads to the Dems becoming more conservative.

In 2022, younger voters made up a smaller share of the electorate than they did in 2018. In 2022, 36% of voters were under 50, compared with 40% of voters in 2018. Decreased turnout among these more reliably Democratic voters contributed to the GOP’s better performance in November.

Older voters turned out more reliably in both elections – and continued to be largely loyal to Republican candidates. For example, among adults ages 69 and older in 2022

Pew research on 2022 turnout. No need for condescending tone brother. We are all in the same fight but we need facts on our side.
