"What you suggest (that people like posturing and talking more than working toward solutions), could be seen as a violation of the TOS. "

...ridiculous.

So, let's be honest--do you really want to advocate for us to start Progressive Parties in all the other states to challenge Democrats and work against their election? Because that would be "working toward solutions". In Vermont, they have even gotten single-payer healthcare signed. Something which the evil conservatives and their spineless "progressive Democratic" allies could not.

Yes, let's be honest: Why are you threatening instead of doing? Go for it. I like Vermont.

I mean, yes, I really do want to see solutions.
