326. Something no one else did
As for "what else," Hillary seems to like what she and Ms. Tubbs-Jones are doing. I prefer the Conyers bill, but no matter.

But really, she need do no nothing else. The repercussions of her stand on January 6th, 2005 may never end.

Whatever the issue or situation, one of our biggest problems on the left has always been defeatism. Our compulsion to "do good" often leads to an overcautiousness about "wasting effort" on something that seems futile. The problem is that often the effort itself has ancillary benefits that far outweigh the importance of the "success" of the effort.

Now, when we hear the usual "never gonna happen" from Dems/libs there is a response.

Mine is to show them this:



And tell people just how often I heard "You'll Never Get a Senator!" right up until we did it.
