"You say nothing to dispel my belief that, if a Democrat is elected who fails to take on the national disorder of militarism, mass-consumerism and rapacious greed, the "center" will continue to move to the right."

This would be easier if we knew who the nominee was. Assuming it is Kerry, I dont forsee him becoming a pro-militaristic, and for unabashed capatilism and greed. And, as much as I dont care for capitalism, consumerism, and greed, those are more or less America's fundamental roots, and to a degree they do work, albiet not always fair.

"If you do not support the most progressive candidate during the primaries to ensure that their voice is heard loud and clear, what on earth makes you think that the party will embrace progressive issues?"
Well, for one thing I supported Dean, and I will admit that the Democratic party does not embrace all ideals that are progressive that I would like to see. The Democrats are far from perfect.

I just think that this is not the best time to be fighting amongst ourselves. Changing a political party is almost impossible.
