57. I am a progressive, so I'm """cleaning up my own house'""" here.

Nov 22

But I'm a progressive in the true sense of the word, meaning I want to see constant PROGRESS being made.

I don't believe this "Donald Trump will bring the revolution!" bullshit about how we must regress as a nation so that progress can be made, even though no one should at this point after nothing to show for the decades worth of hard fought progress lost with Trump and his Republicans in office.

Achievable progress is better than unattainable perfection.
