Reply #85: BETTER IDEA! Get off your dead asses, do the work to move Party left

[mouse7]

The people who whine the loudest about the party being too centrist also never show up to local Democratic Party monthly meetings to vote on diddly squat.

If a progressive activists started showing up to their monthly County Party meetings with 15 people who voted as a bloc, they'd take over their local party. Period.

The problem isn't that there aren't enough progressives. The problem is the vast majority of the loudest ones refuse to do any work that they aren't getting glory and spotlight time for. Nader is the best example of this, but there are thousands of mini-Naders across the country. People who don't play well with others. People who have shown no indication of being capable of leaving aside personal agendas in order to work for the greater good.
