Especially this far out. And people wonder why we lose elections.

(3,811 posts)Google "outspoken Republican" and you'll get them in pairs, in groups, one at a time, alphabetically, etc., etc.
We need 1,000 more like Alan Grayson, Al Franken, Howard Dean, and Independent Bernie Sanders who will go forth into media-land and raise holy hell 24/7 -365.

(3,811 posts)It's true, and I'm not challenging it or refuting it.
But if by "smoke and mirrors" you mean to imply that I'm suggesting that Democrats should fill the airwaves with empty blather and clever sounding but weak arguments, then you've probably misunderstood my point.
Which was essentially that I believe that Democrats generally have been poor communicators, both when expounding their ideas and when defending them. For God's sake, basic decency and morality is on our side. Justice is on our side. But when Democrats get a media platform the words that come out are passionless, uninspired, and immediately forgettable.
I'm not refuting you post. It was just a thought. Excuse me.

(55,144 posts)Repukes being quoted, conservative newsmen being quoted, Why there are no quotes from Democrats?
Fucking insanity from the usual suspects. I have learned to ignore those people (brings my stress level way down because I am not banging my head against the wall). Not pointing fingers at anyone but let's just say where the trail leads on why so many Democrats lost last night.
