Progressives are friendlier than numbers
It's a good analysis, but I think the great trend is that experiencing the recidivism of the last 6+ years has turned so many people into progressives. We're not the greed obsessed bottom feeders that the cretins in power thought we were. Yay!
and I disagree that Dems in 2002 were no better than the thugs, if the thugs hadn't gotten the powers they had, needless even to drumroll about how many horrible things like Iraq war wouldn't have happened.
