2. And they're absolutely right. But, from a developmental standpoint, I'd argue that this is better than what we had, and--and this is important--we have to build the political capacity for a 15th amendment fight.

So here are a few takeaways from yesterday. Some caveats. First while I'm talking about voting and electoral politics I understand it's necessary not sufficient. Second I also understand that the Democratic Party isn't the end all be all--in fact it's the opposite in many ways. Third, I know that we've got less than twenty years to get this right (see: climate change report), so I get time is of the essence. Four, I'm not about hope and change. I am about winning though.
