We’re public and free or at least affordable. It used to be one of our greatest assets. Then the conservatives took over and the moderates went along to get along. Just not worth the fight I guess.

should not, there would be less "moderates" and many more like Bernie and Elizabeth representing us.

They won’t fight for liberal ideas that actually worked. First comes compromise then comes more compromise, then poof, it’s pay to play.

Did you know Jimmy Carter threatened the Mormon Church with loss of tax exempt status if they continued to exclude blacks from advancing in the church, and it worked?

We must stop compromising away our liberal ideas.

The future of the country is fragile imo, but I see our youth are trying their best and I hope they are not demoralized by the roadblocks before them. I am very proud of them, so vey proud, because its a difficult intense power structure to break through.

In solidarity.
