(34,106 posts)but part of the problem is that you can be in a solid place for you but if you never look out or even try to understand (note I never said agree with) another way then it will never get better.
I am a solid Bernie person but understand what that means, even to Bernie. To answer your question, there are a LOT of reasons to come here even if you do not like the way the party is going. I mean, what are you going to do? You either start your own.....I do not see that happening or you work from the inside. I remember not understanding that or being happy with that being the way it is but it really is the only way. You get in and THEN you can change what you can. Why do you think Bernie is still hacking away at this?
If you do not like where you are, where we are, then where is your website? If you don't like what someone says or that people do not agree with you then you either suck it up and think about it or you can pound away and never move the mountain and to be honest that mountain is not going to move much in your lifetime, especially if you do not go out and be a Bernie or someone else actually trying to move it. You can always learn here but you have to be able to listen even if you do not agree.
I was where you are, in many ways I still am. This is what I have learned. Do I like it this way? Not particularly, but I do know that it has moved but like that mountain it will not go far. It is a humbling experience to finally figure it out.
Just an old persons experience. I understand you, in many ways I am still there with you, but there is much to learn here and if you do not like a challenge or it bores you there are lots of places here to learn from. It is frustrating but beating your head against the same wall day after day and year after year gets you nowhere. I do appreciate your drive to change things. Good luck.
