There's always a next time.
It might not be at the regularly scheduled time, there might be a bunch of extra bullshit, it might take much longer...
But there's always a next time.
The alternative is giving up for good, and if that's what you want to do, that's your choice.
But there's no reason for you to hang around and convince people there's no next time and they should also give up for good.
Unless you want to maintain the new trump status quo, which hopefully isn't your goal here.
The way things are looking right now - and this is only month #1- it's hard not to feel a little disillusioned
For some people it is.
Others reached that line earlier.
A lot of those people are still regular dem voters and have been for decades, despite the disillusionment.
Rather than fight with them, why not join them?
Why not solidify the left?
I hear ya. I'm starting to think the US needs a real third party and it's not J Stein or the greens. I mean a real third party.
Ken Martin isn't too bad, and I hope we see some real change out of the DNC under his leadership.
I'm fine giving them some time to see it tho, if O'Malley had won I'd be pushing for a third party right now.
