we'd take over the party in droves at the state level and overwhelm them numerically. it's pretty clear the numbers are there. it might take a while but re-tooling the national mechanisms to make a 3rd party viable will take longer than i'm willing to wait. based on my caucusing experiences here in washington state the party is too feeble on a state level to offer any serious resistance. the county caucus over the weekend was the most poorly organized thing i've ever witnessed: 5 hours in and they still hadn't managed to count the number of people present and check them off the list. sanders supporters outnumbered clinton supporters say 10:1.

there's really not a minute to lose: if clinton's fossil fuels and weapons pals get influence in the white house all that will be left for our children is a toxic cinder.
