There a glimmers of hope. I think the number of people who see how Democrats contributed to where we are now are starting to outnumber those that don't. It's starting to look like we might have an honest to God progressive as mayor of New York, and the establishment has got to hate that.

It's still a real fight in front of us, but we are seeing the cracks start to form. What we really need now is a presidential candidate. Pritzker is the best I've seen so far, but I'd really like to do better.

Y'all need an honest to God revolution. At the very least Trump and his ilk need to be deposed and tried for treason, proportional representation implemented and all powers granted to law enforcement after 9/11 revoked. Don't count on the day after government to do these things.

We need the get there yes, but not all on "the day after". This is also the reason I suggested Pritzker as the best so far. He doesn't seem to be shying away from the needed rhetoric. My biggest concerns are that he is just being opportunistic, and that he is a billionaire. Then again, FDR was super wealthy too, and whomever it is needs to be at least a little psychotic - which at least suggests a billionaire.
