But it is, in fact, not that simple. There's infrastructure to set up, logistics to manage. And some fun stuff too :)

Suicidal for centrists to be begging for moderation when now would be a great time to pass some big, ambitious policies and remind people why Democrats are better than Republicans.

To me, Prop 50's "cynicism" is so very much NOT the issue.
It's that this is just one tactical political move, when Trump's despotism merits a sustained campaign, hitting his side again and again. THAT'S what we need to see. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/edit...
