How do you see that working out? Seems to me it would split the vote. Look how well the tea party has stained Republican policy, progressives can do the same with the Democratic party.
The wind of change are blowing, and picking up speed.
The Tea Party pushed an already right wing Republican party even further to the right- and arguably away from the interests of the average American.
The progressive equivalent would have the field to itself and could easily lead a landslide to the Left.
Better batten down the hatches, those wings of change are going to be hurricane strength sooner than you think.
I smell a massive backlash coming against everything the Republican party has stood for over the past 40 years. My nose is rarely wrong.
