OUR party has been corrupted by ugly, fucking politics.
Triangulation, "third way", DLC, ALL of that horseshit, has robbed us of what we were in the New Deal and the Great Society.
But, guess what? We're facing a danger of which I have, in my 45 years of being a Democrat, NEVER EVEN FATHOMED. This Drumpf clown is a danger to our very way of lives.
*Yes, our day-to-day lives*.
I sincerely, ideally, would like a different outcome than the one we have been dealt. But it is what it is and we need to focus, like a laser beam, on defeating this populist fascist.
Many years ago, I read "It Can't Happen Here". It seemed, to me, a quaint tale of a long-bygone era in human history (even though it proved to be prescient afterwards).
We're at the same precipice, that Sinclair Lewis predicted, again.
