My mantra is, “change happens everywhere but the general”
General elections need to be reformed before a real progressive candidate has a chance at election, and even then, a progressive president has little chance of enacting real reform once in office.
Those reforms happen and the local, state, and Congress level, and even more often they happen at the union and labor level.
People are bickering over our binary choice for president, but the real focus should be on the lower offices. When you’re shooting to kill, you dont aim for the head and fire once , you aim for center-mass and steady yourself for repeat shots. Or I guess you get real close and use a sawed-off.
