Democratic Convention
I don't find it ridiculous (as it was called at the convention last night) for progressives to feel marginalized by a party whose official machinery works against candidates like Sanders and Grayson.
A Trump presidency would be a disaster. So, particularly on climate change, would another 16 years of Democratic administrations that ignore progressives. If, after Sanders's campaign, the Dems continue to take progressive votes for granted, and if progressives support them anyway, when will progressive voices be heard? And why?
I still hope Clinton will give progressives reasons to vote for her (and not just against Trump). Progressives would be foolish to support her before she does.
