(3,372 posts)Your deep animosity toward progressives is revealed by your comments. Your pretensions that this is about practicality - given the nature of the system, Wyoming, etc. - are not in the least bit credible.
Advocacy from the Left is "a pointless waste" and is "indefensible" and has "achieved nothing but the enablement (sic) of Republican terror" and is "a joke?"
No progressives are demanding that the party "achieve every political fantasy while they're at it, or else" nor are progressive political positions a "fantasy." People are advocating for progressive positions, and you seem to have a big problem with that. Progressive positions on most issues are supported by a majority of the voters, so that is hardly a "fantasy."
I can't imagine anything more destructive to the Democratic party and more certain to create division, discouragement and defections than the sentiments you just expressed.
