In the end of your comment, you have more or less accurately described the smash and grab attitude and behavior that exists in the primary season in Brooklyn on many levels, and certainly made an interesting comparison of the behavior and players of the recent empowerment convention.
To be fair, let's see what substance comes out of the convention and what tangible results occur. Let's see if this group and their agenda resonates. Something must be done in the Arena that never sleeps and those that take the stage,usually reap the rewards. I do not agree with this practice but it is the way things work in the political arena.
I also suggest that those of us who are really interested in making tangible improvements get the voters to speak at the polls. The only way to change the status quo is to energize and move the actual electorate.
