This Is Still OUR Moment

It’s been a tough week. We have had worse. Nov 2000. Nov 2004. Sept 2001. Yet we are still here. A little bruised and worse for wear but never broken..and always wiser. This has been a minor set back and we have precious little time to linger on it. Enough already!!

The greatest threat to the Progressive movement in America at the moment is US, the “disenchanted” Progressives. Because “enchanted” is just where we were a year ago, feeling vindicated, heady with victory, and full of hope. In reality, progress is much more grounded and balanced. That is where we need to be today and for the foreseeable future. To that end:

-Lets re-evaluate our use of social media. It is a very good grass roots tool. We need to get back to that.

-Hate and vitriol are NOT Progressive…and it clouds judgment. Before we Tweet/RT/Post consider, “How does this advance the movement.”

-Let us cease perpetuating defeatist memes among ourselves.

One year done, three to go. This is still OUR moment.
