Progressivism is not a political alignment. It just happens that progressives largely agree with liberal goals. That doesn’t mean they agree on process. You are radical leftists because you think process is more important than outcomes. Historical, mainline progressives believe that process is secondary. A progressive believes in moving society in the direction of providing…<\/p>\n<\/div>

In 2015 I told you that Bernie couldn’t win. He had no chance. This year I am also telling you that Bernie can’t win. He has no chance. This is not about how I feel. This is about math. \u00a0 But how I feel is that I cannot stand Bernie. Why? Because he is either…<\/p>\n<\/div>

Washington, D.C.\u00a0 politics are like a fun house mirror. No one ends up looking handsome.\u00a0 That’s why people have to be careful about making accusations without evidence. About criticizing the players as well as the results. It’s tough to see what is happening in that warped reflection. That’s not to say we shouldn’t have high…<\/p>\n<\/div>

Lately I have heard several times how Ocasio-Cortez is pushing Dems and Congress to the left. This is a big reason why we don’t get along. You refuse to accept how insulting it is to keep saying that you are responsible for pushing people to the left. \u00a0 No one needs to ‘push me to…<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Guardian just out with a story connecting Trump’s Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, Billionaire Robert Mercer, and the Brexit campaign that is severing England from the EU. This is a frightening, but not surprising, story that adds to a growing list of facts that demonstrate the existence and operation of a shrinking number of geopolitical…<\/p>\n<\/div>

Seems like a good time for a recap of Trump activity. Read to the end because trust me it gets incredibly bad: \u00a0 1] Trump blows Comey kisses, praising him for his help in Trump taking the White House \u00a0 2] Despite continuing questionable(but not negligent or illegal)statements from Comey, Trump says he still has…<\/p>\n<\/div>

EDGI argues these changes signal the EPA’s new direction\u2014one that prioritizes business interests over public health and science\u2014under new Administrator Scott Pruitt, who has close ties to fossil-fuel companies. Pruitt didn’t mention public health once in his first speech to agency employees, instead focusing on improving the EPA’s relationship with private interests. This change is…<\/p>\n<\/div>

  The Campaign Finance Institute just released an analysis of FEC filings for the 2016 election. You may remember Bernie Sanders bragging about the money he was raking in from small donors at an average of $27 each. Well, Hillary Clinton beat him in small donations. And Trump beat them both – combined. Not only…<\/p>\n<\/div>
