Four years ago, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump were both jokes, completely unelectable. Neither of them has changed much, but now they're both electable (or in the White House).
In the early '90s there was a great Jules Feiffer cartoon, several panels of a guy listening to a candidate's speech on TV. The candidate was talking about economic justice and environmental protection and other popular, important issues.
The guy listening was thinking (I paraphrase), "Finally there's a candidate who says the things I've always wanted to hear a candidate say.
"Too bad he's such a nut."
The key is supporting good candidates.
