Open Left

Excellent Strategy

This is an excellent strategy for the short term coupled with the longer electoral strategy you've outlined of voting out conservative Republicans and replacing them with moderate/progressive Democrats and voting out conservative/moderate Democrats and replacing them with progressive Democrats. At this point, all of these strategies seem possible with some concerted effort.

We also need to somehow stop the Fox News Right-wing/Republican propaganda network and the hate-talk radio empire. Could we sue them for slander or racketeering? They seem to be beyond shame. Their close ties with the business elite and religious Right makes it hard to undercut them using economic boycotts, strikes, etc. It sure would be helpful to have a few more people on the inside (like David Brock) to blow the whistle on their disingenuous propagandizing.

Anyway, back to this short-term strategy: fantastic! How close do you think we are to forming a solid obstructive progressive block?
