Where do you get the idea that the Democratic party is entitled to millennial votes?
If they want millennial votes, they need to support progressive policy like universal healthcare. If they don't, Trump and Republicans have a better chance of winning again

Where is the sense in appealing to compromise with a party or political policy borne from incompetence and/or corruption?
Did African Americans do it during the Civil Rights Movement?
Did women do it during the suffrage movement?
Would you blame either of these two groups for demanding representation in congress or politicians wouldn't earn their votes?
Then why do you blame progressives for withholding their votes from politicians you support when they believe they don't represent them instead of the politicians?

WTF, man? You have nothing at stake compared to other delegations in the Democratic Party. You can afford to take the uncompromising stance because you won't take the heat if Trump wins again.
As a matter of fact, civil rights African American leaders of the 50's and 60's worked hard to craft a message to ensure it wouldn't alienate white voters who were sympathetic to their cause. They weren't as extreme as many in their delegation demanded. There was quite a bit of disagreement over this. Probably still is today.
Women during the suffrage movement were divided over the radical actions by a few women. Even so, while they won the right to vote, they didn't win equality with men in practically any aspect of society. Translating your position to this, you'd have women stop supporting the nineteenth because it failed to ensure equal opportunity for women.
George Wallace gained a strong endorsement by Black leadership in order to hold back the Republican tide that began under Nixon and continued under Reagan.
Basically, you are ignorant of what really happened in the civil rights era. Real progressives work pragmatically to make steady progress. Your stance is to risk it all. Thus far, your group is only cherry picking races in liberal districts and only winning half of those. That's not progressive. Yours is just a fringe idealistic group.

Millennial's aren't "swallowing republican bullshit", they're refusing to vote for legitimate corruption, and without their votes, Democratic politicians can't win elections

Then the Democratic party should probably run fair elections and support progressive candidates. If they'd rather lose to Republicans than support progressives, they deserve every loss they get

Running fair elections and supporting actual progressives resulted in Donald Trump defeating Hillary Clinton?

Why did Justice Democrats raise over 1.8 mill this year, but only donated $18k to candidates and now have only 8k on hand?

A super PAC that only gave 1% of its donations to candidates?
Honest politics!
Ironically, that means the Democrat party donates more to progressive candidates than the "Justice Democrats" did.

You're saying people should vote for Democrats even if they don't represent their interests. That makes no sense at all.
