Think of all the Democratic Party has gained thanks to those obnoxious motherfuckers who simply would not shut up:
– They battle tested a Clinton campaign that was cruising for a coronation.
– They dragged fair trade onto the Democratic Party’s radar screen.
– They forced Clinton to the table on the issue of college debt.
– They got the most liberal Democratic Party platform since FDR.
– They made progressives FULL PARTNERS in the Democratic coalition, and
– On and on….
We got so much. So it is time to declare victory and get to work election Democrats to the Senate, House, State Houses, school boards, neighborhood associations, and knitting clubs. It is time to consolidate the gains and lock them in with the dull, drudgery that is the real work of democracy.
