@johnwilsonwsws Anyone calling themselves a "progressive" needs to be ready to take on the excesses and failings of capitalism and formulate policies that will benefit the majority of their constituents rather than catering constantly to the interests of the wealthy (and the morbidly, obscenely rich). It has always been about money and fundamental fairness and decency. We also need a mighty communications aparatus to counter the 24/7/365 reactionary lie machine. Much work to do.
