“Progressives are the majority; we won the popular vote by a long shot and Donald Trump and the congressional Republicans representing mainly rich old white men are a minority.

“One strategy that the tea party smartly embraced was one of being almost entirely defensive. They consciously decided not to figure out which of their really abominable conservative policy priorities to prioritize. Instead, anything that came out of the Obama White House they were against. What they recognized is that when you've lost the White House and the House of Representatives and the Senate, you're not setting the agenda anymore. We progressives find ourselves in a similar situation now.” HouseLostWhitePartySituationFiguresPolicyDecidedStrategyConservativePrioritiesSettingSettingsTeaAgendasWhite HouseSenateRepresentativesTea PartyPrioritizeHouse Of Representatives Author:Ezra G.
