We don't need "progressive" politicians, but we could sure heckin' use some radicals.
I don't want to elect people who believe in the system. I want to elect people who know how oppressive it is & are willing to risk a lot to oppose it.
We're pretty far along the road to totalitarianism, so anyone looking to do good through holding political office needs to be fucking ready to go to prison, because that might happen.
