If the grassroots can come together to protect the census, the social power developed is likely to boost other progressive campaigns – from teacher strikes to immigration reform to the mobilization of minority voters in 2020.
Based on recent labor activism by teachers and workers, there is a clear opportunity to build a “mass movement from below” and bring a bottom (99%) versus top (1%) progressive strategy to the 2020 elections.
If a future President Sanders or Warren were able to take on Big Ag and implement programs to help small farmers and rural communities, it would shake up the politics of rural states and the country as a whole.
The crises in rural America – economic, agricultural and climate – cry out for progressive policies and therefore open the door to connecting with large numbers of rural voters.
Recent strikes in Erie County, Penn., and New England are evidence that workers in the private sector are beginning to exercise their strike muscles again – and reawakening the labor roots in the Democratic Party.
Today's explosion in worker actions reveals a broad opposition to neoliberalism that is more like a crowd-sourced and coordinated dance than a disciplined march. And it shows no signs of slowing down.
The successful L.A. teachers strike helps move the balance of power in California and nationally toward public education, and against both austerity and the privatization of education through charter schools.
The Green New Deal will be the equivalent of the New Deal of the 1930s, the Civil Rights era, and the Moonshot of the 1960s – all at the same time. At its core, it is a grand story about American renewal.
Progressive Democrats must go much further in taking on the fundamental injustices of the corporate capitalist economy, which does not work for the majority of Americans nor, incidentally, for the planet either.
Formally democratic institutions can be severely weakened by those willing, even eager, to betray democratic principles in order to maintain power.
Agriculture, the service economy, sexual exploitation, manufacturing, construction and domestic work drive today's enslavement around the world.
Thanks to the Electoral College, leftists have perhaps the final say this November over whether democracy can hold on for at least another four years, or if fascism will take root and infect all facets of the federal government for decades to come.
What remains unknown is whether post-truth Republicans will succeed in 2024 as the Nazis did in 1933.
Based on details that have emerged about Trump’s presidential agenda, the far-right Heritage Foundation plans for the next GOP president to have all the tools necessary to demolish multicultural democracy and establish a white, Christian ethnostate that imposes a gender apartheid not unlike the Taliban’s Afghanistan.
Like Hitler, Trump has a unique command of propaganda, a captivating public presence, and he knows how to drive home narratives beneficial to him and harmful to his enemies.

History shows there are no “one-day” dictatorships. When democracies fall, they typically fall completely.
