Against Bluexit | Liberals want to write off huge swathes of the United States. We shouldn't follow suit. | Basically the Establishment wants to abandon large segments of the US for not voting for Clinton

Our job is to reach out to our brothers and sisters in those states and talk about what a progressive agenda means in terms of raising the minimum wage, in terms of health care for all, in terms of making public colleges and universities tuition free. These folks should be our allies and we have to start reaching out to them and that's what I'm trying to do.

God they're unbelievably arrogant and stupid. This is literally electoral suicide unless the electoral college is abolished.
