Progressives Aren’t Great Organizers

The title of this post may be misleading; progressives do get involved with the issues of the day.

The problem is that there are dozens of ways to be a progressive, because there are so many causes to support: climate action, human rights, policy based on science, getting money out of politics, quality education, universal healthcare, equal justice for all, and the list goes on.

By comparison, conservatives organize easily, since they do so around a singular notion, i.e., the opposition of everything progressives want. If it benefits the common person, now or in generations to come, it’s off the list.

So simple.
