This is Leftist

[YoungDemCA]

104. Those who sincerely wish to see a leftist alternative to the Democratic Party *as is*

Should get together and work seriously to elect left-wing Democrats at all levels of government-and of the national, state, and local Democratic Party committees, clubs, precinct committees and civil society organizations that the Democratic Party is affiliated with, along with grassroots activism in any progressive left-wing fashion, etc.

And before I get the "but the Democratic Party Establishment/DLC/etc. is sabotaging any efforts by backing 'corporatist' candidates in the Democratic Party!" complaints, so? Ordinary people-voters, volunteers, precinct walkers, grassroots activists, local leaders in civil society, etc.-have the potential to be more important than politicians, candidates, or donors (no matter how obscenely wealthy they may be). Why is there more focus and time spent on the latter, and not the former? That's by no means inevitable.

Change doesn't come from the top down-it comes from the bottom up. But only if there is a bottom; one that actively and aggressively demands and pushes for that change.
