Don't Mourn, Organize!

The 2010 Election was a major setback for Obama and the Democratic Party, but it may be good for the progressive left. 

The failure of Obama and the Democrats to push a progressive agenda (e.g single-payer Medicare for All) and escalation o the war in Afghanistan suppressed younger and more progressive voters. 

But the Tea Party and the Republican Party are still unpopular and do not have popular support for their radical agenda of austerity and cuts to social programs like education and Social Security. 

John Boehner and the Republican Congress will soon loser favor with the Tea Party and the American people.

The progressive/left must learn from the Tea Party and take over the Democratic Party, or better yet build a movement for a viable third party.

As labor organizer Joe Hill said before he was killed, "Don't Mourn, Organize!"
