If we aren't careful, through gentrification, rising rents and low wages, conservatives may even begin taking over our urban centers. That's why it's time for us to stop giving Democratic or "progressive" mayors and city councils and district attorneys all over this country a pass. Representation is great. It's good to see someone who looks like you or claims to see the world like you do, in office. But for far too long we've celebrated elections when we need to be celebrating results.
