I believe there are very few options available to us that do not have lobbyist or superpacs to use to appeal to our candidate, but among those few options still remains the pressure we can put on the debate as voting members of the party.

We can criticize and point out flaws that are axiomatic, we can use our individual voices in the actual world as well as this virtual internet word to make it known WHAT WE WANT.

We can call a right wing plan a right wing plan even when our candidate endorses it.

In short, we can keep doing what you do and make it known that we want to vote for someone that will not discard civil liberties, our safety net, our commons, or any other damn thing the robber barons want in exchange for a "bi-partisan bill that will pass".

We can hold them loudly accountable for their transgressions just as we can applaud their successes in helping the common man.

We can criticize, we will criticize, and the purpose should be to make OUR issues campaign issues.

Once elected however, they may still disregard promises they make to us to get elected, that is the problem no one knows the solution to.
