Yes, in every single primary there should be a true left candidate forcing the establishment Democrat to explain to the people why the economic elite has - for decades - been winning on every economic policy they've lobbied for to the detriment of society as a whole. They should be forced to tell the people who has been funding their campaigns and providing them with post-Congressional lobbyist positions (Chris Dodd comes to mind as an example) and other goodies. Let them try to say with a straight face that the economic elite has provided all these personal benefits to them with no expectation of undue influence in government! The Democratic primaries should let the people see that the Democratic party's absurd notion of "cener-left" is actually conservative to the rest of the Western world, and that their economic insecurity is a consequence of a corrupt political system serving hard-right capitalism.

What has your party's neoliberal realpolitiking actually accomplished for the people? Electing your candidates does absolutely nothing but keep us on course towards becoming a nation where a few do very well and the people are left out in the cold to fend for themselves. Your candidates win, but the people lose. That's why it's time for the base to move left, organize outside of the party, and then take it away from smirking politicos who think they know better than the people.
