> ... in the coming weeks and months, I and other progressives will be holding grassroots events from coast to coast.
> Why, at this moment, are we doing town meetings ...?
> Trumpism will not be defeated by politicians inside the DC beltway. It will only be defeated by millions of Americans, in every state in this country, coming together in a strong, grassroots movement which says no to oligarchy, no to authoritarianism, no to kleptocracy, no to massive cuts in programs that working people desperately need, no to huge tax breaks for the richest people in our country. And that’s what these events are about.
Meh. I'd say that the "progressives" had 4 year with Biden, to convince America that they were better than Trump. I never got the sense that they tried to do that, or even cared much about it. On the inside of their Shiny Progressive Bubbleverse - they were right, and Trump was wrong, and scoring "I'm even more Shiny & Progressive than you" points was all that mattered.
Vs. making sure that >50% of the voters really did prefer them? Lip service & pretend.
Or Politics 101 basics, like doing even the most basic opposition research on a certain Mr. Santos? Bah! - grunt work is for insecure wanna-be's and little people.
