timothy3: '... But we can work, at the local and federal Congressional levels, to bring forward progressive candidates who actually value human decency, fairness and equity....'
A lot of people have been doing that for a long time. Meanwhile, things have gotten worse and the hero of the current moment has already turned in his lance.
Maybe most people don't want governors who value human decency, fairness and equity -- maybe they want a police state and plutocracy. That's the way they vote, and their chosen representatives have faithfully represented their will.
The minority who want something else need to think of something besides bringing forward progressive candidates who will either be defeated or turned. A new society, a new culture, built from the ground up in the shell of the old. If you can't do it help someone who can.
