This is how they've made me feel. And here's something else to consider, after working up all this momentum, and having things finally start to point in our direction, how many others have been utterly discouraged by these eight Senators who will never experience anything out here like we are going to go through? We can't afford this.

And it damn well better change.

After the small gains in party membership we've been seeing, after years of losses, I have to wonder how many others feel the same way now? And while one withdrawal might not have any impact on the world, several million will send a clear message to the party leadership.

Or will it? They seem bent on shooting themselves in the foot.
