I want my party back and I want to cut out all the garbage that has infested it. Sometimes that requires taking an actual stand and staying firm to it. Middle road nonsense like what you're suggesting is impotent when one side has so clearly decided to be against it.

Edit: And coming back to this later I need to be clear the left also needs to be swept out. I think our institutions in general need to be reworked. Not replaced entirely, but it's clear they don't survive contact with people who would abuse them for their own ends nearly as well as we had hoped.
