Well, this article did a pretty good job of summing up the current situation. Unfortunately, he’s trying to throw Progressives under the bus on the left right along with Republicans on the right. There is one thing that’s fairly clear here and that is that the author is an establishment Democrat (Clintonite), which is sad considering Clinton and the establishment Democrats are as out of touch with the majority of Americans as the Republicans are oblivious of and dismissive to them. There are a couple other things that are fairly clear, as well.First, that the establishment Democrats are trying to appear centrist - idiotic considering that, by the author’s own words, there are few in the center right now and second...that establishment Democrats realize neither that being centrist after the recent damage done is not going to be enough to pull America out of its ‘Trump tailspin’ nor that the reason many Dems went Progressive is because there is a big difference between the establishment and Progressive Democrats and a glaring similarity (which the author conveniently dismisses) between the establishment and Republicans - they love to run off with all the money. That money belongs to the people and it should be used in service to the people, not to enrich corporations, establishment Democrat or Republican politicians. If the people don’t vote Progressive, it is going to be a very slow healing process. I guess we will just have to wait and see...
