You DO what fucking Bernie said to do. If the Democrats aren't "progressive" enough for you then join them in large numbers and start INFLUENCING THEIR POLICIES FROM INSIDE and make them more PROGRESSIVE.
The model for this is what the jesus freak asswipes did to the republicunts in the 70's/80's. Take over the party and then you can call the shots and nominate the candidates.
However the reason for bolding and capitalizing the DO in the first sentence is that you can't sit on your asses with your noses in your cell phones and wait for it to happen. You actually have to DO SOMETHING, like Bernie said.

Quote:We must launch a political revolution which engages millions of Americans from all walks of life in the struggle for real change. This country belongs to all of us, not just the billionaire class. And that’s what this campaign is all about.
To win this campaign, all of us must be deeply involved. Our movement needs people like you to help it succeed.
Here's a guy who predicted accurately what would happen to the GOP.
Quote:Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.
