It’s Time For Progressives to Take Back the Country

[GoLeft TV]

In the 2014 midterm elections, Democrats were soundly defeated by Republican candidates. However, in states all over this country, progressive referendums and ballot initiatives were being passed in record numbers – everything from increasing the minimum wage to legalizing marijuana. So while Democratic candidates got the boot, progressive ideas that were not attached to a politician or a political party were wildly successful. Voters want progressive policies, and that’s where we need to focus.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this with Steve Cobble, co-founder of the Progressive Democrats of America.

1. Agreed. I've been hollering for years that Dems need to advance VERY lefty ideas

if they want to have any impact at all. The more we copy Republican shit the more things go to hell.
