1. Wow...you are correct.

Good article.

[merrily]

2. I especially like the last paragraph:

As R.H. Tawney once sensibly reminded an earlier generation of Labour Party leaders, the first thing you need to do -- if you want to win a political fight -- is to get off your knees. And he was right: we don't win unavoidable battles of ideas by choosing not to fight. So if there was ever a time for courage on the Left, that time is now. The center-left politics of the 1990s, heavy as it was with triangulation and class accommodation -- collapsed in the financial crisis of 2008. Its day is done, as is the credibility of anyone associated with it. The Democratic Left needs a new message, a new vision and new leadership. All three are beginning to emerge - and in the end we will all be better for that.

From Coates' keyboard to the ears, hearts and minds of voters when they cast their primary votes.

4. Excellent statement. It is so true, people have to fight for what they want, it won't come

to them by just tagging along with the same old neo-liberal 'leaders'. Their way is the old way and it has been a spectacular failure for millions of people.

The solution is to replace all of those who represent the old way with those who represent the PEOPLE.

5. I am fighting as hard as I can and will continue so to do.

They keep stacking the deck and I keep getting more resolved. I hope that is true of all Bernie's supporters.

3. K&R + 1,000 eom

"...progressive supporters of Bernie Sanders or Jeremy Corbyn should take heart from the fact that the outcome of elections is not something fixed in stone, years in advance..."

As my old sig line stated: "Everything is subject to change."
