    Progressives need messaging and a concise platform. ‘Fix housing, healthcare, inflation, immigration, monopolies, LGBT rights, income inequality, unemployment, gerrymandering, climate, education…’ Everyone who’s even capable of listening past 4 objectives knows they’re not all going to happen and assumes that means they’re all bullshit.

    I’ve really been liking “Tax wealth not work” but I’ll take anything stronger than “return to normalcy.”

      You mean the normalcy that allowed Trump1.0 to happen in the first place, and allowed Trump2.0 to grab and pervert as much power as he has now? I fully agree, there is a larger lesson to be learned from all this than “phew, thankfully the Democrats won this time, and Trump can’t run again”. There are systemic problems behind all this.
