14. If we get more Progressive representatives it can happen
Wed Apr 22, 2020, 01:08 PM
Apr 2020

Like Maxine Waters, Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Tammy Duckworth, Mazy Hirono, Barbara Lee, Kamala Harris, and many more who serve now.

Of course we also have a dozens of progressive men but for me women come to mind right now because women really do kick ass once they’re evolved beyond a male centric consciousness. I do believe younger men, the ones brought up by Feminists are much more likely to be Progressive. There just has to be enough Progressives of both sexes pulling together to make a difference. Luckily we might just get a bunch more in the November elections.

As a Progressive Boomer who has been disappointed at our government representatives dragging their feet to make any meaningful “progress” in my lifetime, I’m more than willing to vote for the woke younger people. People who will prosecute the criminals, not out of revenge, but because it’s the right thing to do for the future of our country.
