So, there's an article today in the New York Times by Jason Horowitz about Shareblue. Huzzah! Thanks to the NYT and Horowitz for taking notice of the mark we're making with progressive voters!
Obviously, I didn't just fall off the turnip truck, so I realize that headlining the piece "Inside Hillary Clinton's Outrage Machine, Allies Push the Buttons" isn't intended to be flattering.
But irrespective of its intent, I wear the moniker of outrage machinist like a badge of honor. I mean, of course I'm outraged about the election.
We have a choice between electing a white nationalist nightmare who's catastrophically unfit for the presidency and electing the first female president who's running on the most progressive platform ever and is the most qualified candidate in history, and the media continually endeavor to draw false equivalencies between them. There's a lot about which to be outraged!
And, as I've said before: Progress ain't fueled by rainbows and gumdrops.
Anyway! I've done a bunch of tweeting about this today, and here are those tweets Storified (plus one from Aphra, included with her permission) in case you'd like to see them.
