Totally! Which is shit. We can still get progressive candidates in as has been shown, and gradually change the party though. Do as much as possible and fight against them "Bernie"ing the progressive candidates.

Comments that sow disinterest and apathy create worse problems than fighting for change though.

I'm wary of calls for incremental change since too often there is no change or rapid change for the worse.

Lol I just you're the same person I commented this fact to last time. Definitely agree, you have the right idea. Sorry I can't help but grateful I'm in a different country with entirely different issues. Wishing you all the best!

That makes sense.

I believe in a majority of my posts debating the "both sides" comments I'm arguing that changing the Dems to a progressive party is more manageable than standing up a third party in the USA.

I know the primaries are shaky due to the DNC leadership, but I haven't changed my belief that it can be changed. Thanks for the well wishes. I'm just frustrated with the solution-less complaining.
