I said I was going to post a Beau video today which helps (at least it helps me) make sense of the relationship between centrism and progressivism. And, you know, he has a point. The kind of change we progressives are looking for really does not come from government, and certainly not first from government. I do think we should take the increasing number of Progressives getting elected as a good sign – that in those districts, minds are being changed. But in any case, not voting, or protest voting, is not progressive, because the result is merely to tear down.
I will keep checking for Keith but will not mention it in future if there is none.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
The MSNBC news clip can compete with the best comedy videos on Trump’s court cases. True
material.
The overview of his legal troubles is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Krebs hasn’t been fired yet, but the White House will probably wait until the weekend when the news is slow, as they always do.
Loeffler: When have curruption charges against Republicans ever stopped their base from voting for them? Mitch McConnell will only see her track record as a very good recommendation. In many ways Loeffler is a clone of Trump, except she appears to have had some real success in business.
Beau: I don’t think progressives will never find their ideas echoed in a political party and in fact wouldn’t want that to happen because they would no longer be finding their next engagement. He is correct, however, that progressives may not find it in a major party. And certainly not in the American two-party system, I may add. And I think that is why Democrats are going to lose votes again when the next election doesn’t involve the stategic choice of “anything but Trump” as it was in this election. It also explains why Democrats have already lost some battles when the vote wasn’t about Trump but about the Senate or the House.
Yes, all change may have to come from the people, but there also must be a government that is receptive to those changes and translates (reforms) them into laws. In the past decades, governments in too many countries have only been receptive to the 1% and their money.
You are right that there could be a progressive party, but it couldn’t be a major party. And here in the US, that would make it a doomed to be a third party. To have successes it would need to “caucus with the Democrats.” Which what a lot of us, even though a progressive party doesn’t exist as such, are already doing, from Bernie on down.
I do think what mostly kills us (besides being demonized, I mean) is not that people want to vote against us, but that so many who would voote for us don’t vote.
Thanks JD. Running WAY late!
petitions all signed…maybe one even twice, oops
