If I weren't tired and didn't have errands to run, I'd try to give a
substantive commentary here, but I am tired and must run, so I'll state
a dogma that I think could be defended undogmatically.
Progressive politicians ought not to honor the common good; they ought
(by fair means or foul) defend the interests of working people,
primarily black & female working people. They ought also (though this is
actually redundant) do all in their power to sabotage the work of the
Defense Dept., the State Dept. and the Attorney General.
