Spot on. This is no time for incrementalism. The democratic status quo isn't going to meet this moment. For what it's worth my dad taught me the same thing about hitting first.
The New Deal didn't hit, it built and fixed what the bankers and stockers had torn down. When evil officials couldn't be removed, FDR kept them busy doing something constructive that would satisfy their power addiction. Lady Edgar Hoover had built her empire on blackmailing decent people. FDR gave her bank robbers and kidnappers to pursue, and she enjoyed the publicity.
You are 7%. To take national power requires a compelling majority. As the 7% out of the touch with most of the nation, how do you propose to do that? Will you bring us another election where progressive principles matter more than surrendering power? What is your plan to get from 7% to well above 50%?

Corbin, thank you for explaining the verb "to fight" to a party that forgot how. Keep teaching!
Preach it, Corbin!

I think it's called "coalition building"
