In a recent exchange I had here on Medium, the subject of electability (specifically as it pertains to the more progressive Democrats, such as Bernie Sanders and AOC) was raised. I think the assumption that Sanders would have lost to Trump is debatable. Opposition to the status quo is such…

It was January 1, 2022 and nearly every Democrat in the federal government had gathered outside the U.S. Capitol for a prime time public address.
