This cycle, with CU fresh in our minds, progressives and liberals are motivated. When the blush wears off the rose, in a few years, if that heinous decision is not reversed or compensated for somehow, it could matter greatly.

If we lose this election cycle, the downward spiral into corporate fascism will accelerate. Winning would not be a permanent cure, but it would arrest the development of the far RW agenda for a while.
