I don't find it distasteful to fight the Republicans year after year. It should be no more distasteful to fight Democrats when they are wrong. No change in established or entrenched power structures ever happens overnight. It takes perseverance, and it takes lots of allies. Sometimes you have to find and recruit them yourself. Sometimes they find you. The idea that you had in the original post to work collectively to find and support progressive candidates is dead on. The party needs that. The country needs that.
