A practical progressive: While I believe passionately in progressive ideals and policies, I believe we need to keep our eyes on the prize and be practical when needed to win elections. That doesn't mean compromising core principles, just not being stupid.
Hello friends, here's the latest from my blog, "The Practical Progressive." This one is about my loss in faith in the Supreme Court, after hoping they would serve as a block on Trump's authoritarianism. Give it a read and feel free to share it on your own page.
