is to understand that this is a long term battle and that by abandoning the most progressive candidate that can be elected hurts our long term goals.

Cenk's idea is nothing more than a political temper tantrum. No, you can't have it now! Grow the F__ up and do the hard work which yields real change.

This is right up there with voting for Nader or a primary challenge to Carter. It does nothing but weaken our position and make things worse, again.

Screw that guy.
