Progressive candidates can win anywhere. Contest every race.

I'm reluctant to point this out, lest I blow the covert aspects of some good news, but it seems that, almost without anyone’s noticing, very progressive African-American candidates have been getting elected to be mayors in cities in the very deepest parts of the deep South. First, it was Chokwe Lumumba, an actual Socialist, who was elected mayor in Jackson in Mississippi Goddamn. From Oxford American:

If I may repeat, this is Jackson. The one in Mississippi. Goddamn.

Then, on Tuesday, a man named Randall Woodfin challenged and beat the incumbent mayor of Birmingham, Alabama, William Bell. Woodfin is 36, which will make him the youngest mayor of that city in over a century. More significantly, Woodfin had the active support of Bernie Sanders and the people allied with Sanders’ late campaign for president. Sanders recorded a robo-call on Woodfin’s behalf late in the race and Nina Turner, the head of Our Revolution, the Sanders-affiliated political operation, made two trips to Birmingham on Woodfin’s behalf.

Get conservatives out of control of this country.

Democrats progressive. LMAO, they are authoritarian as fuck. Obama made it possible for Trump to launch drone strikes on Americans. Not all bad since ANTIFA is a communist terrorist organization. :)

You must be torn here. On the one hand you have conservatives, and on the other hand you have the ultra racist Bernie Sanders and the progressive candidates that he’s supporting.

A real lose-lose situation for you, eh Foggy?

Bernie is supporting systemic racism. You interpret this as saying he's racist. I don't know he's racist, I just know he's supporting systemic racism as he has always done as Senator from Vermont. On the other hand, many of the policies Sanders supports are great. His agenda is good but not sufficient.

But this isn't about Bernie so much as about progressives taking control of local governments and perhaps turning the tide against fascism. How can I not support that?

What do you think about the last bit of that article?

Or, if you insist on overthinking yourselves into paralysis, turn Nina Turner and the people allied with her loose and then come in at the end—cooperatively, mind you—and drown the race with money and ads. And if the Our Revolution people hold back because they don’t want somebody on the Internet to get mad at them for “selling out,” they should tell that person to shut up and dance. This is too important.

Not being interested in Our Revolution inside politics, I don't understand the authors reference. What was he talking about?

So, roads and bridges are bad? How about the national highway system? You realize that your hovel is only economically possible with our transportation system, don't you?

How about explaining what you think socialism is and why it's so bad.

I prefer the back roads myself less people, more to see and hardly any cops.

You will report a dog abuser but not a pedophile? Must be worried about your friends like Anthony Weiner.
