Because you’re lying. Progressives hold their nose and vote for centrists, but that loyalty only goes one way. Centrists sabotage progressive candidates. Centrists would rather lose to a Republican than see a Progressive win.
Center-left and centrist are two completely different things. Pelosi and crew are centrists, and if you agreed with those folks I don’t think you’d be voting for Mamdani.

im center left and i voted for bernie both times. i don’t live in NYC but i would vote for mamdani. many centrists definitely vote for progressives.
it just depends where on the centrist spectrum you fall.
(ok tbh I’m probably right at the edge of being a leftist but to many lemmys here that means i am hitler)

centrist is more right wing though.
i don’t agree with them in all cases but i think they are still miles better than Republicans
progressives actually dont turnout to vote, so i dont think they are voting centrists.
More Sanders voters voted for Hillary than Hillary voters voted for Obama. Enough with your anti-progressive stereotypes.
