You can’t move the needle left if there’s no needle.
You don’t move the needle by being content, either. Which is why centrists are so fucking angry at people who aren’t pleased as fucking punch at all the deliberate failure of the second worst party.
That’s why they work so hard to take away, delegitimize or sow distrust in those powers. You want to move the needle left, you vote as left as possible and protest and harass them until they do what you want.

We have three powers of control over politicians
vote
protest
media

And that’s exactly what I do. You have a problem with it.
Why would I have a problem with it?
If you don’t have a problem with it, quit bothering me about it.
Your problem seems to be that I’m criticising Democrats for blocking progressive legislation.
