Progressivism in the US may or may not have suffered a mortal blow in this election, but it was not Republicans who delivered it; it was Democrats and Democratic leadership.

If progressives can’t get to the exits fast enough enough to escape the collapsing of a corrupt fundraising-for-billionaires husk of a Democratic party, they’ll go down with the ship.

Left wing populism stopped the rise of fascism globally. If it’s not going to come from Democrats; it will have to come without them.
