(50,986 posts)1. Happy to recommend this post.
The article covers important ground. Democrats at all levels of the ballot should give this some serious thought.

(50,986 posts)3. I think maybe a combination of
many old and newer minds, with some innovative, people-oriented thinking, might be a plus.

I want Elizabeth Warren, Martin O'Malley, Bernie Sanders and Robert Reich actively to participate, among MANY others.

A series of regional summits might work. And maybe right off the bat, decide on a Great Plains city for next cycle's convention.

Nothing like creative and NEW thinking! NOT something the Dem PTB care for.
