Are Democrats, Progressives, Democratic Socialists and Others Finally Ready?

Are things finally clear enough to recognize? Can everyone see what happened due to our collective folly in 2016?

I hope so. I hope we all finally get it. We have just over 11 months. Just 11 months. If we're not already looking toward November, 2018, and recognizing what it is we must do, there is no hope left.

Please. I beg of you all!

Unless leadership start punching hard, with things like Medicare For All, etc, nothing will change
