I'm a Progressive, I frankly didn't give a shit what reasons Harris/Walz gave, but they gave a ton. Going after price gougers, huge infrastructure investment, securing women's health, etc. PLENTY stuff that would be great reasons.
But again, even if they had simply said, "we aren't *that*", my mission would have been clear. I defy anyone calling themselves "progressive" to be faced with a choice of "not appealing" and "fucking terrible" and saying "meh, I'll take the default"
