Not really, it is more naive and less realistic to ignore that… well, progressives and liberals already know that Democrats are sketchy, but they do listen when people fight.
Again, a way to say in reality: Don’t bother to fight.
And that is better than what madmonk28 said. You see, that was not hard. You are way better than him in this thread (And I do appreciate his contributions elsewhere in the SDMB, and I mean that, it is only in this thread where he is badly reading the room… if not the country.)
Nope, I showed how uncharitable he is with the ones that will fight. Again, leaving has merits and even I would had said it was OK, as long as he does not forget that in these days it is easier to contribute to democratic institutions in the US from other countries. Of course, it does remain still that fighting for our rights while in the US has more merit still.
