2018, Dems, it's coming.

And who are they going to have in this party that's high-profile enough to beat a Democrat, since they're not getting Sanders, Gabbard, Warren, or Ellison? Are they going to have Kshama Sawant try to primary Maria Cantwell, for example?

this becomes a commong thing now, i guess....remember when WL used to be about transparency and not politics?

That they've turned into Russian sock-puppets is sad. It makes me wonder if that's what they always were.

He's right, they shouldn't leave the party. They need to conquer it, State after State, county after county.

Exactly!Using the same organizing tactics as the tea parties.

Indeed. It worked wonders for the GOP, no reason it won't for us.

That's assuming the state parties don't try to kneecap us, which they certainly will try to.

the tea party system can't be copied 1 to 1 with an "intellectual" party, imho.

Well, didn't we just take over California and a few other State parties? I'm sure we can do the same elsewhere.

Except the California Democrats weren't prepared. Watch as the other state parties pass rules to kneecap Bernie supporters. They'd rather lose with the Third Wayer than win with a progressive.

[Dr. Arch]

Welp, forever Indy. The Democratic party refuses to come to 2017, while desperately holding onto the 90s.

We need to keep up hope. The best way to ensure defeat is to think it's inevitable.

And who do you think will be that Progressive ? Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren ? Way too old ! Sherrod Brown ? Tammy Baldwin ?

The only other option I could think of is having some unknown Progressive Democrat win the Governorship in the Midwest.

How would they kneecap Bernie supporters? Abolish caucuses? Get out the vote efforts in minority-heavy areas? Yeah, really nefarious stuff. The Bernie wing is a large minority in the party, but a minority nonetheless.

And you still need this minority as well to win. Currently the "establishment" controls almost all major party posts.

Also, let's dispel with the fiction there's a permanent majority. When Sanders started running, he was believed to end us as an asterix candidate, guess where it came from there already.

I'm all for cooperation between the two wings, but it can't be one-sided.

What was the vote breakdown? 

[ProgressiveCanadian]

Democratic registration just went down 10 percentage points.
