Democrats have two months to make sure this election doesn’t turn out
like 2010 did. It’s not about the president right now, and we shouldn’t
wait until 2016 for a new magical president. The kind of thoroughgoing
change we need won’t happen in eight years, or even 80. It’s an eternal
battle, the constant effort to expand the realm of human freedom to
everyone, against the constant crusade by the wealthy to ensure that the
trappings of human dignity – education, leisure, family life, childhood
itself – are reserved for those who can afford to pay for them. The
Kochs and their allies are trying to repeal the 20th century.
Progressives can’t just suit up for that battle every four years.
