Progressives in the Democratic Establishment, remember insanity?
You can also find previous episodes on YouTube here.
Right after the election, Naomi Klein wrote a prescient piece that still holds true today. We can blame just about everything including the Russians, voter suppression, Comey, and more for Clinton’s loss. We would be right. But it should not have come down to a close election especial when running against the character Clinton ran against. Today it is not about rehashing. It is about ensuring we do not make the same mistakes. Everything tells me we are in fact doing the same thing again. The plea is in hopes we ultimately don’t.
Today we have two special guests from Indivisible Houston. They are here to announce a very important event every democracy loving Texan should attend, The Rally and Candlelight Vigil for TRUTH.
President of Indivisible Houston, Daniel Cohen
Actions Chair of Indivisible Houston
