Yes, I am in fact certain that it is our progressive fault. The all or nothing position of the progressive wing is feeding the GOP smears of the Dems as being too far left for America. And in case you can't see that, please take note of the polls across swing states. The GOP message is winning this battle. I am losing respect for my fellow progressives that are absolutists and destroying the progress the party has made with moving to the left of center. The constant complaining that the Bernie wing has gotten nothing from the party is effectively making the GOP case against us when the can say we are a bunch of socialists. We are losing voters as we split the party.
