34. "Clear ideas" indeed. It is not about philosophy. It is about clarity
Wed Jul 1, 2026, 06:25 PM

specifics, and commitment. Basically, the self-proclaimed "centerists" (a gross misnomer) give lip service to the same issues progressives fight for. But too often, it is just lip service. Nobody believes they will be there at the moment of truth.

We aren't promoting "progressives", "socialists", "liberals", "communists" or any other inflammatory label these "centerists"want to use. We are promoting fighters. The difference between the progressives and the "centerists" is not philosophy. It is willingness to present real, specific, bold ideas and then fight like hell for them.

God bless Elizabeth and the others engaged in this fight for a future we can be proud of.
