2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: If Clinton wins the nomination... [View all]Doubledee
(137 posts)for the compliment and the invitation. I will assuredly visit your blog, as time permits of course. We here, the few, the optimisti, in our Central Valley, California town are beginning to ramp up our Green party recruitment efforts and will start registering voters as we do every election cycle. Of course, living amidst a bastion of republicans, it is always a fun time for us...
I moved to this place when an attractive position opened up in my final years at work prior to my recent retirement, and after spending four plus decades working with a small group formed during the turbulent anti Vietnam War protests. Being closer to the Sierra Foothills where riding my motorcycle was sheer pleasure and planning to retire up there as well were motivation enough. In the ten plus years here I have met, through volunteer work at various community services, several like minded folks and (rather boastfully) have seen some progress even among the dyed in the wool republicans. It seems progressives are everywhere.
Let me be perfectly clear about my vision; everyone who works, in any way, for progress, to bring about our shared goals, is doing work that deserves respect. Saving this nation from the clutches of crony capitalism and its edging ever closer to Mussolini's apt definition of fascism deserves respect and you certainly qualify.
See ya soon.
