I think it generally a big mistake to jettison allies and horses. We need a thundering herd. Defending the M and W class includes defending fundamental rights of many kinds: voting, search and seizure, detention without charge, suppression of speech and oversight, and more including reproductive rights and sexual freedom.

But at this time, fight for rights and success of the middle and working class and you win. That includes all the rights above and include making opportunities for them and evening up the wealth and income disparity.
