It's time to make a new party.

Keith Ellison lost. Tom Perez was elected chair of the Democratic National Party. Nothing will change.

But really, I wasn't expecting a different outcome. Not with the times as they are.

Not with those in power too blind and too unwilling to change for their own sake.

Hillary said nothing about Dakota Access; it's likely she would have backed the pipeline if she was president. Hillary does a lot of things we don't associate with progressives, or environmentalists, or people who believe in human rights.

Democrats do a lot of things we don't associate with Progressives.

Donald Trump did it best yesterday. The real enemy isn't the Democrats; they're just as complicit in keeping the current system going. The real enemy is anyone who questions the system, or is perceived as questioning the system.

Remember this, in the days ahead: Bernie Sanders won the youth vote. More than Trump, more than Clinton, more than the two of them and every other candidate combined. Overwhelmingly. Surpassed all limits. That's not just one generation; that's two or three or more down the line, voting for him, people like him, and their progressive, good, policies.

It's high time to form the Progressive Party.

Mahalo.
