Winning

They say winning begins at the local level, in your state house, city council, congressional district, etc. These guys are taking it seriously.
But all over the nation, people, particularly women, are working with near supernatural energy to rebuild democracy from the ground up, finding ways to exercise political power however they can. For the middle-aged suburbanites who are the backbone of the anti-Trump resistance, that often means shoring up the Democratic Party. For younger people who see Donald Trump’s election as the apotheosis of a rotten political and economic system, it often means trying to remake that party as a vehicle for democratic socialism.
It's a modest start but, in the long run this is how to win. The game for Republicans now is a rush to do whatever they can to make winning irrelevant.  They might pull that off.
