You're going to create liberal think tanks to rival the 300 or so that the Kochs fund? You're going to sponsor candidates for local offices and push a liberal agenda the way "conservatives" have done? You're going to create a sustained effort and pressure from the bottom up for a progressive agenda?

I'll believe it when I see it. I have no confidence in the radical left. I have never seen the radical left be anything more than a rag tag, irresponsible, annoying group of ankle biting trolls. But if they can evolve into something more functional I'm all for it.

Until then, pfeh.

The Hillary people resort to some kind of cult worship and overlook the damage done in the Clinton era that empowers corporate ownership of the media and traded away our jobs. Take these ideas constructively because the appeal of Jill Stein will give the disillusioned false positives.
The Dem's need manage their words carefully should they want a team effort. Some of us don't vote on the basis brand recognition. You want a unified party it begins with the Clinton brand There is no requirement that we all come on board and work together should the issues of 43% of the Democratic Primary voters go unheard.
