I think left of where we currently are is the future and can win. I think all the way left would be a disaster*.


When the far left truly starts building consensus and winning lots of offices, then I will gladly jump on board. You can tease me all you want for being late to the party.



*For example, I think it was great the left pushed the middle from 10 minimum wage to 12 bucks nationwide while encouraging local governments to go to 15. I also think Obama was right to be cautious about a 15 minimum wage nationwide because I doubt Ferriday, LA can support it and the economic data isn't clear what would happen with a nationwide 15 minimum wage. If 12 works then 15 would be an easier sell. If 15 fails because it was rushed then republicans would have justification to change the minimum wage to $5.
