Reply #96: Obama will listen to progressives when we actually have something to offer him [View All]

[RevolutionToday]

The hand-wringing over a known centrist is ridiculous, what did you seriously expect? Progressives have failed, for 50 years on, to organize together and claim our seat at the table of power along with all those other moneyed interests. The millions of Obama supporters, many having learned how to organize effectively for the first time this summer, are now united enough that we can start building a real, bankrolled progressive movement on the scale of the conservative cultural revolution. Obama didn't just use our energy, he focused it correctly so now we are aware that Yes We Can! We can win any victory we really work for. It is up to us to follow through. If we fail to do so, then we are morons who haven't learned from history.
