Two opportunities ... Where are Progressive voices?

By MrSmith1 on Thu, 09/24/2015 - 9:29am |

I've been waiting patiently for the postings, but maybe we've become so mesmerized by Trump and other distractions that we can no longer see Progressive triumphs as something to crow about.  

This is the difference between Progressives and the Right Wing Scream Machine, the Right would have jumped all over these two stories and hammered away at them until their message sunk in on a subconscious level.  The Left on the other hand, seems content to just sit around and luxuriate in rare victories.

Okay, hold on, Ramona.  Let's think about this for a moment.

tanka haiku:

All one ever knows,
Is what they’ve experienced,
Or taken on faith.
    But, like silt in riverbeds,
    Both can muddy the waters.
