Democrats campaigning on "affordability" are cutting back on their anti-oil rhetoric but they should be focusing on removing the red tape surrounding solar, which could be much cheaper! (www.nytimes.com)

In my mind, it would be way easier to energize your own base than it is to convince people that prefer your opponent to vote for you. It's not the "left's fault" that Democrats keep failing to enact meaningful change.

You're not "the base" if you only show up haphazardly. The "centrists" everyone despises are the base. That's why they continually win primaries, etc.

I'd love for more left leaning candidates to win but until people turn out, they won't. Can't expect great candidates to fall from the sky. People actually need to put the work in and they clearly don't.

I guess it's a good thing then that ProgressiveVictory is proving that there is a genuine left base to activate.
