The people are no longer buying 'just hold your nose and vote we need to WIN 'at all costs'. That worked during the Bush years, it catapulted Dems into power in 2008. But voters are no dumb, despite the disdain of the Third Way, and having put them in power, they expected promised results. Now we've seen the whole system run by the Third Way come full circle and there is a revolt against it. Too bad they refuse to acknowledge it. But it doesn't matter, if Progressives form a strong MOVEMENT within the party, rather than just going along with the status quo, we CAN defeat them and take back the party.
