Here is the part of my comment you are ignoring:

This election is over, voting Hillary last time ensured that. It's all about the long-game, the big picture. The vote you cast this election will determine next election's choices – & that's literally all it will determine, it, & nothing else, just like last time. This vote is only a tiny bit of power with only a tiny potential effect, TV likes to convince us otherwise. Voting doesn't have dramatic, or immediate effects.

If you want more liberal democrats than people should vote for more liberal candidates in the primary

Have you not been keeping up? The DNC rigged the primary elections in 2016 & this year among other things to ensure the progressive candidates weren't options. They know progressive voters will vote for the established candidates either way, which is why we shouldn't vote for established candidates either way.

Voting for blue Republicans is voting for the status quo.

I don't agree with your take on what the best option in this situation is.

Yes and we moved the party more to left by participating and thus helped the progressive cause more then your strategy of voting green would do

lol no, all you do by voting Biden in the general is prove to the DNC that progressive voters have no spines & "nowhere else to go" & thus can be ignored.
