252. Considering that the left was just slapped with yet another insult from the Democratic party
when all they are doing is trying to pull the administration to the left, I don't see how anyone is going to buy the argument that the best way to push the part to the left is from within the party. It implies a level of respect that OBVIOUSLY does not exist. It's obvious that the party doesn't give a shit what the people think and as long as that's the case staying within the party to move to the left just may be a fool's errand.

In other countries the politicians fear their electorate because they know that the people can vote them out. Our politicians have no such fear so they do whatever the fuck they want while sneering at you that you have nowhere else to go. Well there are other places to go and people should probably start considering those options because the party made it clear that if you don't have large amounts of money they don't give a shit what you think so long as you do as you're told and vote for them over and over again. Otherwise, the party will continue to move to the right and nothing will stop it.
