" I would propose that Progressives and Centrists in the Democratic Party form a coalition rather than be at each other's throats. "

...'bold' pays off in today's political climate...if the pukes had the House and trump were our guy, would they impeach?

...Centerists are not 'bold', they're 'measured'...Progressives are 'bold'...this colors what we think and how we approach problems...in essence, we see things differently...

...I don't think it's as easy as holding-hands to give trump the boot...pukes are 'bold' and Progressive want to meet puke fire with fire...most of the time we're fighting Centerists to do this...

...as we argue amongst ourselves we are not being 'bold'...no one has yet to figure out how to successfully manage trump...this does not bode well for 2020...we need to toss a coin and soon...

...Progressive? or Centerist?...the winner should take the lead while the loser offers unquestioning support...right now, I'd say there's at best a 50/50 chance we'll give trump the boot in 2020...he's too good at being 'bold'...
