15. I'd really like it if we didn't actively cheerlead job losses.

I'd really like it if we didn't "LOL!" dismissively at progressives.

I'd really like it if we didn't think the Democratic standard should be milquetoast centrism.

I'd really like it if we didn't delude ourselves into thinking we can break bread and reason with people who want to see some of us rounded up and killed.

I'd really like it if we swallowed some bitter pills, take hard stands on European standards (like multi-payer health systems and universal education/Trade schools) and not worry what a bunch of uneducated fuckers who decry such standards as "SOSHULISM" or "SOVIET RUSSHA!!" have to say about it.

I'd really like it if we could communicate in factoids.
