11 "or more" Democrats are reportedly breaking ranks and preparing to vote for Trump and against their own party and country.
They are getting nothing in return.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Today in history, 2008: Barack Obama becomes the first person of African American or biracial descent to be elected President of the United States.
May we channel the joy and hope we felt on that day as we forge a path forward for democracy in America.
