67. The Dems have been targeting a squishy majority

for decades. Instead of doing the organic work throughout the country to counter the bigotries the GOPs so expertly leverage, Dems settle for the gavel and committee chairs.

They have been duped into chaining alternate media channels and putting them into control of the very folks who are undermining an egalitarian, justice-focused society. Dems beg for equal time and coverage on MSM and never get it.

Big tent politics doesn't mean compromising justice and fairness for votes. It means getting on the ground in all 50 states and making a real play with the values and resources you have. Either be a champion for democracy and justice or for K Street martinis and MSM guest spots.
