It's by no means imperative, but it certainly is reasonable to conclude after watching Democratic Party leadership that the Democratic Party leadership is more interested in its preservation than in the pursuit of liberal and progressive political goals.

Be honest and forthright in sharing your conclusions, and begin the open national discussion that has been stymied by the dominance of two parties.
