Agreed - it's been that way all along, really. Dems just recognized the need to throw their constituents an actual bone once in a while, while Republicans were too self-centered to recognize how self-destructive they ultimately wind up being.

I'm hoping Progressives explode in popularity over the next few elections, and then manage to mostly live up to their potential. I don't care if they do it from within the Democratic party, or form their own - they just are the only chance we have for things to be right anytime soon.
