Blaming those with the least power for not bending the knee to the "leader" the powerfull have imposed on them instead of blaming those with the most power for not putting forward somebody worthy of the loyalty of the rest is a pretty interesting take for somebody posting in a supposedly Progressive forum.

It's been four years and nobody stepped up.

Nobody said they wanted to be the successor. They didn't build a campaign and start doing press tours.

We have No Labels and Brain Worms. That's it. The progressives did not try to field a candidate, and now you're saying there's a boot on your neck.

Either fight or keep complaining. Bitching online is not progressive.

I'm trying to wake some of you up to the reality that we need to be united and getting a shitload of 'Meh, whatever.'

Extremely hard to believe thats your progressive take.
