2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumFuck, we lost the Senate. And some good things about the results.
I'm boggled how Ernst could win in that Senate race. And the losses in some Governor races. Geez. Tough night for Dems.
Yet a few bright points. Minimum wage increases have garnered the vote in a number of states. Legal sentencing reform has passed in CA. Haven't seen much more stuff.

(1 post)Because Democrats lack Guts and cannot speak in unisome, they're bound to lose. In this Election, there was no TEAM, no fight backs, and no cooperation. An adage "united we stand, divided we fall" this is the Democrats story. It is important to note that Humans are the easiest creatures to manipulate and, this what the Republicans are very good at. However, if the Democrats have been able to atleast campaigned on most of the presidents accomplishments, the American public would have listened and be educated.
The Democrats failed woefully and it's a shame. They had so many talking points. Stuff like all the Republican officials that have been indicted for various offenses as well as, the Government shut down etc. These are atrocities committed that would have resonated to the public instead they ran away from all just because of the presidents low approval rating.
They should have realized that if they had drummed even the presidents accomplishments, they would have been able to change people's minds which would have helped ALL of them in the long run.
