    This is how autocrats gain power. They make you afraid to stand up.

    Now is not the time to run away and hide. That’s how they win.

    Oh oh, I know a great revenge. Make it so nobody can individually donate millions through PACs. In fact, just do away with PACs and Citizens United. That’ll really stick it to those Democrats and that Soros fella you’re so worked up over!

    Progressivism in the US may or may not have suffered a mortal blow in this election, but it was not Republicans who delivered it; it was Democrats and Democratic leadership.

    If progressives can’t get to the exits fast enough enough to escape the collapsing of a corrupt fundraising-for-billionaires husk of a Democratic party, they’ll go down with the ship.

    Left wing populism stopped the rise of fascism globally. If it’s not going to come from Democrats; it will have to come without them.
