41. We should BE the Radical Left and not apologize for it.

“We have to be as ruthless as our opposition” - We must also be as Radical as the opposition.

The Trump administration has imposed the most radical change to our government that we have seen since the New Deal - all in the wrong direction. It will require radical changes to fix this, and we should not avoid radicalism but should instead embrace it and proclaim ourselves to be willing to make those changes. If you are sitting on a railroad track and a locomotive is headed your way, you have to change your position; you can't just sit there.

After seeing the results of Trump's Reign of Stupid, Americans will be ready for change and the Democratic Party must offer a clear vision of radical change to create a better country for everyone. We need to look and sound like Bad Bunny at the half-time show with a positive energy of hope and a real list of improvements we can achieve. 'Si se puede'
