This site is important. This site is the voice of Progressive America. What was once a hurly-burly site of debate and dissent became a safe space for reassurance about conventional wisdom.
Way back in the primaries speech was restricted here. Martin O’Malley, a successful Progressive Governor, was not even included in daily Kos polls. Kos was dismissive of Bernie Sanders. Kos abandoned his crashing the gates ethos in favor of acceptance by Washington Democratic “villagers”.
Large parts of the Democratic coalition were ignored and told to shut up.
Now, reality intrudes. In the future, let’s stop the disrespect for Democrats who live in the real world.
