So we just throw up our hands and bend over without the Vaseline? So since you are part of the solution, how about cluing the rest of us in on it/sarc.

As a historian I see cycles. They aren't always exactly the same but reasonably close. We are in a Progressive cycle like that of 1902-1921. Some are longer---the Republican cycle (which was pretty liberal) after the Civil War lasted almost 35 years, and before that, the Dems dominated---in a way we can't comprehend---the US from 1826-1860---with virtually no credible opposition.

It wouldn't call it a suggestion but an understanding of where we are, and until the majority begins to shift, nothing will change. In the meantime, we need to make sure that we don't throw away what few hard-won victories we have in desperation "Hail Mary's." The wheel always turns, but it is possible to break the wheel.
