Focus on the House and Senate races. Work to elect Democrats like Tammy Duckworth and Kamala Harris.

You say "Hillary isn't progressive enough" : Great! a Blue Congress betters the odds of progressive legislating.

You say "Hillary can't win" : Great! Working for a Blue Congress ensures that the conservative agenda will be muted in a Cruz/Rubio/Trump administration

For the record: the primaries are far from over.
