I'm tired of hearing about "the 99%." Yes, this is a statistic about wealth. However, it has no political meaning whatever. Repeat, there is no political consensus that the 99% would ever agree on. Anarchists are in the 99% statistic and Tea Party conservatives are in the 99% statistic. Yes, it might be nice if they decided they had something in common but this will never happen. There is no 99% in political terms. And it does not serve any useful purpose to assume there is, except to reinforce the fact, long apparent, that the English language has syphilis.
Progressives are not now, and never have been, in the majority in this country.
