From the economy and the collapse of the middle class to climate change and the pursuit of endless war, America faces as serious challenges as at any time in its history. They are issues of vast moral and even existential import. Liberals should shine here, and yet where are they? I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for the minorities to re-align Congress, the millennials to recover their Obama-snuffed idealism or other fantasies. Don’t tell me about Occupy Wall Street: Not one Republican member of Congress fears for his seat because of this camp-out, whereas the Democrats could not capitulate fast enough when faced with some loud-mouths at district meetings and handfuls of white people in ersatz colonial dress. The whites will hold power for decades and too many of them are Fox viewers and pawns of the corporatists.
