Democrats Need to Embrace Progressivism or Else Move Out of the Way

[ProgressIsLeft]

39. Yes, completely correct

So many things need to be done and the problem is that we have some Dems who aren't shooting for the moon and instead are shooting for the tree thinking that they can find Republicans who will help them. Republicans won't and they have no intention of doing so. They aren't our friends and what we've gotten for so long is half way ideas because of that.

Think of the tv show Pawn Stars, you have to come in high because anything less is going to weaken you. We've not seen that in some time. You shoot for the moon and you get what you can. Aiming for the trees might get you an apple but I prefer the stars and heavens.

I would like to see our reps really start fighting for the things which matter to the every day people of this great country. Things like SNAP & WIC for instance need to be strengthened and never marginalized as we saw happen. Education is a right I believe and I want to hear our Reps besides Bernie come under that fold saying so. I want to start hearing "living wage" support, not just "minimum wage". We need to go left and when we don't, we'll keep on losing more and more voters, states and reps.

There was a time in this country when you could work at the local store down the street and raise a family and get by and be happy. You can't do that anymore and the American Dream is seeming like it's more and more dead and buried. We have a means to shape the future, it's time to light the fire and FIGHT for progress!
