Good. The time to debate and fight over this stuff is now.
Most voters, most citizens… most people are frustrated at the level of exploitation, unchecked inequality and just awfulness toward them by entities much more powerful than them.
Parties are inherently corrupt and self-serving, but this… THIS is the time for “progressives” to reach and wrest control of the only party that can actually do anything for us.
This is EXACTLY what should be happening… I mean… it is happening except that “left wing” people are articulate, respectful, willing to communicate with nuance, respect others to the degree where they don’t lie to them, etc.
The “progressives” look more weak because they are smarter and frankly more civilized.
Unfortunately for the lead-poisoned boomer’s brains only 80s action film machismo seems to register as power and resolve.
And… how things are perceived (in politics, among other things) IS what they are.
The king does indeed have no clothes, but because there are many people willing to lie and pretend like he is a powerful and capable president, lots and lots of people go along with that… especially those that don’t pay attention too closely, which is most people.

Yeah, if this doesn’t work we’re gonna need a blue teaparty to get anything done.

It kind of is already happening. Voters are making the leadership vote something they are calling about in significant volume.
