The legacy of "The Left"

35. Yes, we do agree.

And I also agree that we should be responsive to Democrats who have legitimate concerns. So far, Hillary has seemed more willing to compromise than any candidate I can think of, in terms of the compromises she went for with the platform and making sure Bernie had a HUGE stage at the convention. The stories that people who know her well told of her at the convention, suggest that she is someone who listens, takes advice, and is willing to allow other people to have ideas and express them clearly, even when they disagree with her.

I'm glad DWS is out. I want someone effective as hell heading the DNC. I want the Obama Coalition AND a 50 state strategy! (I don't ask for much, do I?) I want people registering voters in Texas and Georgia and even Utah. These are states that conventional wisdom says we can't win, but demographics and the cry for social change suggests we WILL win, and soon.

Thanks for all your thoughts, and a good conversation.
