11. so long as we remember that conservatism is a crock

Mon Nov 28, 2016, 10:26 PM

Nov 2016

we should be o.k. Liberals, progressives, unions, environmentalists, feminists, gay activists, scientists, economists.... All these factions need to align and fight conservatism. It's meaningless and has become a cancer on democracy in 2016.

Thank you Skinner for the boards and it's rules. We need them and we need to elevate our conversation so that everyone hears.
