Neera - I've never "dunked on Hillary." In fact, I've explicitly said that I won't attack you, Tom Watson, HRC, or any other former colleagues just to ingratiate myself with #Bernie supporters.

But I believe we ALL must take responsibility for our failure to stop the far right.
My point is that the Democratic Party leadership, which includes the Obamas, Clintons, Pelosi, etc., have failed to meaningfully oppose the rise of the extreme right.

I take responsibility for my share of that failure. And I ask others to do the same.
Here is a good representation of my thinking and why I've come to believe that we will NEVER overcome the threat of fascism by repeating the same mistakes of recent decades.

We need root-level overhaul of the system.

For me, this is about more than just mending fences after 2016.

It's about a (nonviolent) political revolution.

It's about saying NO to the status quo and doing something about it.
