I am going to fight harder than I ever have before. The 1% may be successful once again but we will maintain our momentum and get more progressives into Congress. As far as the GOP, IMO they are far from irrelevance. They are where they are, not by accident but by design. They preform a very useful function. The have been groomed to be the worst of evils. Our two party system has become one Conservative Democratic Party vs. a total disaster. Progressives have been disenfranchised.
