He has the right attitude about how Democrats need to fight, and hot DAMN did he ever put that on display at a rally Wednesday night in the D.C. suburbs:
They can make a white supremacist the chief strategist for the White House, he said, invoking Steve Bannon. They can make an anti-public school activist [Betsy DeVos] the secretary of education. They can make Jeff Sessions the attorney general of the United States of America, but my friends, we are still here.
They can put Goldman Sachs back in charge of the Treasure Department, but we are still here. They can try to dismantle the EPA, but we are still here. They can put a fox in charge of every hen housethey can put the Joker, the Riddler, and the Penguin in charge of Gotham Citybut we are still here, and were not going anywhere. [...]
Raskin had a bit more to say about Bannon. Were not letting any prepped-out Harvard Business School neo-Nazi strategize us into becoming Germany 1933, he vowed, and we will not let a cabinet of robber barons and white nationalists destroy everything the civilizing movements of the last century created.
