I think the main difference between you and I is that you think of what could or should be (of which I don't disagree), but I think more in the "what's possible with the current house and senate makeup" sort of way.

We should have not let the RW get away with a ground up campaign that's 30 years old, taking over places from the city council on up... pushing ideology hard.. see the solid red states.

the time for action, sadly, was decades ago.
