    A lefty needs to win a governor seat in a major state first to continue that momentum to the White House. That will give the average blue voter the confidence to vote for a social democrat or socialist in the primaries.

      We can only hope, andthere are some promising signs.

      But fuck Chuck Schumer though and every other democrat who folded on the shutdown. Purposefully giving up their only leverage to please corporate interests of course.

      Nobody was blaming the Democrats for for the shutdown and they folded anyway. It’s obviously a totally deliberate attempt to undermine their own populist success in the name of preserving the economic status quo.
