At the point when it comes apparent (and different people will disagree about the threshold), you can take countermeasures.

Anyway, a lot of these issues are being sorted out internally on the left, so I wouldn't assume this current situation is permanent.

It would be cool if they did. There's not a lot of room for me on the right, so, I'd like to have something at least partially palatable.

I assume that what I'm seeing now is _closest_ to what that movement actually believes and how they actually think.
