Are We Headed Toward A More Progressive America?

Think Progress seems to think so.  Would that it were true.  I believe that it is, and that, in the long run, there could be a more progressive America in the cards.  It's getting past the next 4 to 6 years that may be the tricky part, until the projected demographic changes take place.

But, whether or not we have enough voters, voting is never enough.  Democracy is a full-time occupation and, win or loss an election, the work of making it real is too important for anyone to allow electoral setbacks to get in the way of that work.

Organize.  Donate.  Write.  Speak out.  Every day.  Not just on Election Day.  If you want to be headed toward a more progressive America, it will take nothing less.
