hope and a lot is going on among left liberals who are working hard, and succeeding as they did in the midterms, to get this party back on track.

Eg, several Organizations backed and helped fund Progressive Dems both locally and nationally and they won a majority of those seats they supported. Also they are starting locally to really get involved, last mid term eg, they got Progressive Issues on ballots across the country and won I believe all those they were involved in.

Like many of us who don't believe DC will be listening to us, these organizations move their efforts to where they can be heard, locally.

It has several benefits, one of which is finding new candidates who share the views of the Progressive wing of the party, helping them win in local elections, then pushing them in national elections is the goal.

We really do have to start from the ground up.

Anyhow, I think you will find this group a lot more in line with your goals for the party, and your posts on Education are invaluable.
