being pragmatic, we need to ask ourselves what successes have been achieved under Obama and then decide if those successes outweigh the negative. Perhaps, in the vein of being pragmatic, we need to look at the future and decide if the Democratic party can ever be a force for good or only ever be a weak levy against a far right ideology. If as you say, the Democratic party would never have allowed Obama to be progressive, and I am assuming that you are saying that Obama’s progressive leanings were neutered by his own party, then we are in a time where a truly progressive populist third party is needed. A party that operates on the local and state level. One that can show even tea partiers that the population, as a whole, share the same needs and concerns that are never given a thought by the major parties. The Green party had a sound platform but their greatest flaw was that most of the people that would have been represented by that platform never saw themselves as “Green”.
