Well, two-thirds of them primarily wanted something else. It doesn't mean that two-thirds don't want that as well or are against co-option. The 9% who want to "mobilize progressives" are essentially saying the same thing as the 35% who explicitly wanted to influence the Democrats. You can probably put others in that camp, too, such as those who want single-payer health care. Only the 11% who want to disrupt the two party system, and maybe the 4% whose chief goal is to get rid of capitalism and democracy altogether, would seem to be dead set against co-option.
