They want everything handed to them on a silver platter. Progressives need to stop being a bunch of whiny little bitches and do what the religious right did to the republicunts in the 70's. Take it over and remake it in the image they want.
I wouldn't put it like that. But we have certainly not had the same level of local, state and national long term planning the GOP has. Progressives are gaining right now and the good news is the younger generations aren't buying the old GOP crap. We can win long term if we organize at the same pace long term. I think the occupy movement being a result of the market crash was a wake up call and that mentality has gotten bigger. But what will sustain it and make it grow is if progressive don't get distracted by the GOP use of social issues and bullshit commie slurs.
