At a place called "Democratic Underground", why are so many people saying the general public, or the 'masses' aren't ready for this?

Some seem to want to believe that for some inexplicable reason. But the results of the mid terms put that lie to rest once and for all. Progressive issues WON across the country wherever they were on the ballot.

So all we need now are candidates who will run on a progressive agenda. However, they will need to show sincerity, either by their past record or in some way that voters can determine it is not just campaign rhetoric.

The country is MORE than ready for Progressive policies.
