Bernie or Bust is illogical

8. The progressives in the party lost to the right wing democrats.

That is clear. Hillary Clinton will be the nominee. Now the question becomes what will be the best thing for progressives to do. We could sit it out, or vote against the democratic nominee, to send a message that our votes will not be taken for granted. But would that really improve the situation? Threats and hostage taking are not going to convince other democrats that progressives should be listened to. It would probably have the opposite effect.

Unfortunately things do not move as quickly as we would like them to. It takes perseverance to make change, not blowing things up every time one does not get their way.

I am as disappointed in the democratic party as many other progressives. But it's the only one we've got so we must continue to try and improve it from within.
