Dear Democratic Party,
I know I am too radical for you and you will do everything in your power to ignore what people like me have been saying, but Jamelle Bouie is *not* a radical. He is part of your core. Listen to him. Make adjustments to your leadership until you get an alignment.
A Democratic Party with this kind of agenda will have my enthusiastic support as opposed to the begrudging, nose-holding vote that I feel blackmailed to cast for you in the past few decades (2004 may have been the only time I felt good about voting for a Democratic candidate in a presidential election since 1988, if I'm being honest).
