Jan Perelman has a dream (after crashing and burning in last night's FL Primary)...

And we’re just getting started! We are going to primary every single corporate-backed Democrat with a grassroot people-powered progressive until we have a Brand New Congress on the side of working people.

I don't think they're that interested in actually governing because in a Democracy you have to compromise. It's all demagoguery.

"in a Democracy you have to compromise."

This is the biggest problem we have with republicans, and it's gotten worse with trump in office. Republicans won't compromise, it's their way or the highway. Being a narcissist, trump has no idea what the word "compromise" even means. He has alway gotten his way, and he definitely does not play well with others.

I'm sure soon, she'll be re-tweeting Donald Trump on a daily basis and still claiming how "progressive" she is, just like Canova does.
