It seems to me that progressive Democrats already are the center. The problem is that the Overton Window has moved so far right now that party perception is bonkers. Polls say that vast majorities of Americans want commonsense gun safety, paths to citizenship, abortion rights, education, etc.

The timing of Jimmy Carter’s memorial is just right… May we remember the importance of character and find the courage and strength to honor character in our own lives. What are we striving for as individuals and as a nation? Thank you, President Carter.

That’s exactly the sort of minor mayhem I have caused for years. Slight chaos. A burr under the saddle. A thorn in the side. A constant irritation.
