Gary Michael Tartakov really nailed it in his Nov. 29 guest column, “Dems must truly become the party of the working class.” Progressive Democratic politicians must revolutionize their party or start a new one to counter the authoritarian drift of our country.

The editorial board of The New York Times was dead wrong in their Nov. 6 editorial blaming the election loss on the Democrats’ progressive agenda. Tartakov brilliantly explains why the Dems were not progressive enough! I canceled my NY Times subscription and will seek out coverage of progressive forces organizing to win back the hearts of all suffering Americans.
