If "progressives" want to take over the democratic party they should grow a pair of fucking balls, sign up, and do it.
I'm tired of their fucking whining.
A better alternative would be to make all primary elections open.
Gee.... all you have to do next is to get the republicunt and democratic lawmakers to pass legislation to that effect.... and have it survive the inevitable court fights.
Good luck with that.
I'll be dead by the time you finish.
