It would be nice if the far left, for once, did some introspection.

149. The far left in the country doesn't have the same money at its disposal. The far left, those of it

who are active, wants the American people to start to demand a system where the money isn't buying influence. They are doing what they can with what they have.

It's totally legit to say that their strategy isn't workable, just as they say taking corporate money isn't workable, but when too much of the country is too oblivious to the problem, and the things the far left want, are NOT the things the Democratic party wants, at least as of now, a message with no actual amplification is going to have a hard time showing successes that would excite you.

The question is whether amplification typically comes with a filter on the message. Also, can lesser amplification be heard amidst the amp stacks that come with being corporately supported parties, talking about entirely different matters. But saying "your way isn't working" while standing in the way of that approach, is something that both sides would say the other has done. The difference of course, is that the far left mostly turned out for Clinton, and some small percentage went green, so they stood in the way like a person trying to halt a steam-roller. On the other hand, lefties are marginalized by both parties alike, at least when they can be safely discarded. When they are not they change the world. They change people's minds...they push on the edges of normalcy and what is, in favor of what should and could be.

It takes the people at the margins saying the things that are unpopular for them to enter into the main-stream. Just because at the end of the day, the establishment politicians are the ones that finally decide enough work has been done that they can listen and respond to that will without political consequences, doesn't mean that you can give all that credit to the person who waited for the time to be right. People had to make the time right.

It's actually more and more offensive as I think about it, you entirely dismissing how our system works, and the efforts and impact of the left. You haven't seen anything lately? Well that's charming. Keep standing with your back pressed against the door, and you aren't likely to see anything for a while to come.
