OK, folks... we're not playing bean-bag here. No one ever said that nonviolent moral suasion was easy, or that one big burst of energy was ever enough to push a whole country back on the correct and constructive path.

The Right spent 40 years and trillions of dollars to give us the violent, divisive, impoverishing, soul-eroding chaos we see around us. We're lucky enough to see it for what it is, but that doesn't mean we should allow it to cow us into grumbling submission. The Right wants Democrats to do one thing and one thing only --- "Bend over and take it like a prison bitch." Those who are leaving the party or giving up are performing just that feat.

Yes the party should listen to its Progressive wing, but it won't until enough of us make enough noise, and find a focus and consistency to our message.
