Has the Left Surrendered? The Overdue Conversation We Need

[KoKo]

1. I like the way Escrow goes through Reed's article and further expands it

into positive actions we need to take. I hope that we can get our act together for the 2016 Election by focusing on Workers issues and Strengthening our social safety net.

But if 80% feel that Hillary Clinton is the one to do this...the article shows that there is a disconnect between what she doesn't talk about abut what her track record shows about her beliefs which are hardly the LEFT of the Democratic Party.

We need new energy in the Party and where it will come from...I don't know. Warren and Sanders at least have the Left Message focusing on the Workers and Social Safety Net...but, neither will have the power and money that a Clinton II team would have. Their voices could be the beginning of the "Democratic Worker Party" but that sounds so Left it would probably not fly well with the rest of the electorate who see socialists and communists under the bed these days.



"They’re more likely to come together around a concrete agenda built on leftist principles such as job creation, fair wages, and a stronger social safety net. It’s possible to be positive without being Pollyanna-ish."
