37. I Would Also Point Out

I would also point out that while I consider myself a Progressive and want a Progressive Candidate, I would vote for a more Centrist Democrat if one were nominated. Also, I would work to see that Candidate elected. I am not one of these Progressives who want to burn the house down if their Candidate does not win in a primary.

In fact, I bring up the divide between Progressives and Centrists on purpose. I think that this is a real division in the Democratic Party. It does not need to be a weakness, but could in fact become a strength.

Instead of Progressives and Moderates being at each other's throats, we should maybe take a lesson from Parlimentary style democracies such as those multi-party goverments in Europe. We should form a coalition. Center Left and Left parties form governing coalitions all the time when no single party prevails in a majority.

I would propose that Progressives and Centrists in the Democratic Party form a coaliton rather than be at each other's throats. A united Democratic Party would be the end of the Trump Regime. And the begining of a government that works for the people and not just the monied corporate interests.
