Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumYes, on moving forward from 2016
So, go for it. Move forward.
Champion a candidate or candidates you think can win in 2018 or 2020. Draft the platform, slogan, message, or campaign strategy that youd like to see the Democrats pursue. Write (Please!) the article or book that explains how Democrats can win in spite of gerrymandering, voter suppression, a hostile media, foreign interference in our elections, Citizens United, etc. Hopefully, youve got more than Visit Wisconsin. Fundraise. Phonebank. Canvass. Register voters. Run for office yourself. Not only can Hillary Clintons book not stop you, but, through her new organization, Onward Together, which is dedicated to advancing the vision that earned nearly 66 million votes in the last election and encouraging people to organize, get involved, and run for office, [and which] will advance progressive values and work to build a brighter future for generations to come, she might even help you.
But if youre not doing those things, if, instead, youre spending your time having a fit that a woman said something less than admiring about a man, then forgive me if I dont believe you care nearly as much about moving forward as you do about moving backward, to the good (for you) old days when the liberal bros got to tell the rest of us what to do, what to say, and how we could say it. Im so old I remember those good old days, when women were told that our place in the movement was on our backs or in the back room making coffee and running the mimeograph machine. Im so old, I remember Robin Morgans beautiful Goodbye to All That. Some of you bros may be too young to have read it. I invite you to do so now and get used to it. Otherwise, youre going to have as difficult a time living in the 21st Century as your brothers on the right."
