It's a hell of a town

It's also all the way the hell across the continent and very much "not Portland" but I'm tickled to death that the people of New York City gave a big middle finger to the politics of surrender to plutocracy and corporatism: https://www.theguardian.com/.../winner-supporters...

Because the man himself sums up the real problem of NYC that's the same as the real problems here in Portland: "...there are far too many New Yorkers who do not know if they will be able to call themselves that next year, who do not know if they will be able to afford their rent, or their child care, their groceries, or even their MetroCard.”
 
It's past time that we liberals stopped cowering and apologizing. These billionaire-fluffers are evil and wrong. The GOP is lost, as gibbering mad as a rabid dog, so we can expect nothing from them except their usual lunacy. 
 
But we're not in the Trump Cult and it's time we reclaimed our roots.
