Reply #31: I'm with you, and most Progressives I personally know... [View All]

...are also going that way. I, and as stated, many I know, are now going to support the Progressive candidate. We are especially going to support them in local elections and positions like school boards, councilpersons, etc., since seemingly, we no longer have a voice on the national front. If the Progressive candidate is a Dem. then fine, I'll vote Dem. If the candidate is Green, then fine, I'll vote Green. I'll canvas, work, and donate to the Progressive candidate only.

The Dems will either get a backbone, or they will no longer be a viable party. There is nothing sacrosanct about Dems. and in this country's history, political parties have come and gone. If they don't start addressing the needs of those who make up a sizable part of their party, and the ones who are the ONLY activist wing of their party, then the Democratic Party will go the way of the Whigs, i.e. extinction. If that happens, so be it. Something else will fill the void that is left.
