Bottom line people, any Democrat is better than any republican.

5. It bears saying this again. . .

No matter how shitty their candidate/s may be, Republican voters turn out on every Election Day. Too many "progressives" and "leftists" don't come out and vote for Democrats, out of misguided purity.

Here's the hard reality: Election decisions are made by people WHO. SHOW. UP.

This "nothing-but-the-best-for-the-oppressed" attitude sucks.

THERE AIN'T NO SUCH ANIMAL AS A "PERFECT" OR "PURE" CANDIDATE. DEAL WITH IT.

Want to take over the Democratic Party? Can't do that until you are actually IN the Democratic Party. On the local level. Your local Democratic club or committee in your hometown.

You join, become a district leader, attend the meetings, and learn who the players are and where the wires are being pulled. Maybe even run for an office yourself, albeit an "obscure" one such as library board, zoning board, school board, etc.

Get leftists and progressives into the local Democratic Parties IN DROVES, and soon they'll influence the state and national party leaders to the point where you will see real change.

Stop waiting for Wonder Woman or Superman.

Do it yourself. Join, get out there, canvass the neighborhoods, phone-bank, etc.
