  • You notice that you said vote singular there? That’s why. You vote once and then you act surprised that everything doesn’t change immediately. You want change? You got to keep winning. That’s how change happens. That’s the only way it happens. You think the Civil Rights Act happens without almost 30 straight years of democratic victories?


  • You know I hear people say this and and yet the Democratic Party is further to the left than it was under Bill Clinton. So how does it follow? I mean I hear people say stuff like we keep moving further to the right and the Republicans certainly are, but I see a Democratic party that’s for gay rights and that didn’t use to exist. I see a Democratic Party that’s that’s talking about higher taxes on the wealthy and trade regulations and consumer protection Acts. None of that was true in the '90s. In the 90s the Democrats said the era of big government is over. Now Democrats are supporting good government policies. We can certainly support better government policies, and I personally would like to see them go much further , but I can’t see a scenario in which the Democratic party isn’t further left than they were.
