It is critical we play our cards right. We are on the side of the angels on this.

(28,151 posts)If only it worked that way! Repubs do bad things and screw the people, is that enough? No.
It takes organizing and hard work on the ground, in the trenches before elections. By all of us.

In fact her article yesterday complained about Hillary "making excuses" for losing the election, because Hillary had an interview where she said Comey's letter was a contributing factor in her loss:

Funny how all these media-types ignore their contribution to that lost, and especially in regard to the letter Comey sent to the republicans in congress:

No, the FBI did not say it would reopen its investigation."

No thanks, she is no friend.
For that matter neither is Maureen Dowd, and not surprisingly they both have suddenly become more critical of trump then they ever were during the campaign

Although our situation is pretty sad it seems "just like deja vu all over again". I have been hoping for a progressive agenda all of my voting life. I think the most progressive Dem we have had since '68 was Carter and then Obama.
Although there is a large progressive movement in the US most white folks ARE NOT. Maybe the millennials will surprise me.....if I live long enough.

(100,068 posts)There is a war on liberalism right now and it's because conservatives have a monopoly on the media. They own it. Yet they'll dismiss any opinion that goes against what the GOP wants as part of the "liberal media". Which no longer exists! If you are in education or any sort of public forum, if you try to voice liberal opinions, you get called a libtard, or a Marxist and you get tarred and feathered and run out of town.
If our media were truly liberal, Trump would have been laughed out of the primaries. We'd also have full control of the House and Senate. We need to take back what is rightfully ours. If we don't take back the media, it will be same shit, different day.
