Voters who fall to the right are unlikely to vote for Progressive or Left wing independents. Simple because those voters are conservative. There are genuine ideological differences there, and people aren’t going to vote counter to their ideology simply because they’re dissatisfied/angry with conventional options. Do you really see a block of people who genuinely think banning abortion is more important than anything else voting for a left wing campaign? That demographic votes right wing for a reason.

You’re confusing the Newspeak definition of the word “conservative” with its traditional meaning.

There are lots of us who are by nature conservative (dictionary definition) but who won’t vote for anyone connected with the current Republican party because of their extreme reactionary positions on such subjects as abortion (and human rights in general), including a lot of formerly high ranking Republicans who have publicly denounced what the party has turned into.
