Not One Step Backwards
The Democratic Way.
As harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice.
The Trump Administration is built on a foundation of lies. They live in an upside-down world of phantasms, hallucinations, and fever dreams and the mainstream media is unsuited to forcibly call it out. But we will not simply be “fact-checkers.” This brings no power. Fighting against the forces of the right requires an affirmative vision: the America we wish to defend and the America we wish to build.
We do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation.
We promise an aggressive defense of the principles that make the American promise: openness, productivity, community. We stand strongly for the people threatened by Trump’s America, in defense of the values under siege by a hate-filled right which threatens to tear apart lives, destroy prosperity and set the world ablaze; all to reach some imagined past. But we cannot simply go back to the pre-Trump days. We must go forward into this new world with our eyes clear.
We are in earnest—We will not equivocate—We will not excuse—We will not retreat a single inch.
There are elements of both the reactionary, conspiratorial left and the obsequious, compromising center which believe that the American right can be twisted to their purposes, or that some compromise can be made. You will not find that in these pages. The Democratic coalition is beset at all turns by rent-seekers, grifters, attention hogs, and other parasites. They will have no home here. We will not shackle ourselves to political expediency.
AND WE WILL BE HEARD
We promise to write now and always on issues of importance; to write articles of substance, and to write uncompromisingly. Democracy is based on the conviction that people have the moral and intellectual capacity, as well as the inalienable right, to govern themselves with reason and justice. We ask, ‘SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE” and we answer with a resounding “YES!”
