Someone's unwillingness to implement an effective solution doesn't make an ineffective solution the answer.
The way forward on this is hounding them until they implement it, not fighting the math:

if they wont give us what we want or need they dont deserve our votes, maybe next time they will offer more than "im not the other guy", if the democrats will not be pushed left then they should be destroyed.
In order for politics to align towards your values you have to vote for the candidate closest to them, which forces the losing parties to get closer or die, which pushes the winning party to move towards you.
If you throw away or don't vote none of that happens because you have no impact.
This is wrong. The parties don't see the views of the people that vote for them, just that they recieved more or fewer votes. If Leftists vote Dem 100% of the time, then the Dems will never move any more to the Left, because they already have their vote.
