Born again Progressive [View all]

I have noticed some of my progressive friends on here are getting down. I can understand that one on hand but as a new convert to Progressive thought I am just full of enthusiasm. You guys have been fighting the good fight for some time now and are falling just short of a huge win. But as a new friend and supporter I want to encourage you. YOU ARE STILL RIGHT!!! YOU HAVE BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG!!! I am kicking ass on social media with facts and logic with my old conservative friends. I am not saying that proudly I am saying that when you can argue with facts instead of rhetoric you will win. The arguments that I am winning are YOUR arguments that I now have adopted as my own not as a follower but as a joiner.

So here is my point. We may not win this battle but WE WILL WIN THIS WAR!! Fresh reinforcements are joining and we have no battle scars and are eager to move this forward with you. This thing you guys started and Bernie has led is not losing momentum. I see the opposite. We will keep gaining momentum. We are going to start winning seats in both houses. We are going to convert more people like me. We WILL WIN in 2020.

You guys are just battle weary but I am so damn proud of you I could bust. I love you guys and give you the utmost respect for being leaders. I have said this before but after reading some downer posts decided I needed to try to share this encouragement.

Thank you my friends.
