How are things ever to change if you just accept 'this is how it is'?? Thank the gods that there have been those in the world who refused to accept that, and have CHANGED MINDS enough to change the way things WERE.
People are people and most, when faced with facts are willing to accept them.
Grayson has won twice in a district where we were told a 'progressive dem can't win'. He lost when Corporate America spent millions to get rid of him. And if he were like those who prefer to just accept the status quo, that would have been the end of his career. Instead he went back and learned from that loss and won again.
HE is the kind of Dem we need. A fighter, who has the facts and the truth on his side and who won't shut up about it.
So sick of the failed, defeatist attitude that has put Republicans in power because we are told not to fight, just to accept failure.
Hundreds more Graysons in this party is what we need. Enough with the DLCers trying to stop Progressives from winning, every single time. But not any more.
