14. The Democratic Party is headed down the one way road to oblivion,...

... if we refuse to shake our embrace of the same old same old status quo.

We need to become more adamant about what is good for the average Jane and Joe and articulate what our plans and policies are to get America to this new destination. The same old same old just ain't going to cut it any more.

Graham Platner is the breath of fresh air we have all longed for - for quite some time. America is circling the drain,.. it has been for quite some time now. We must break that cycle,... we must chart a new course to reach our destination of making America a better place for all its people - not just the 1% Oligarchic class.

Graham Platner will help us reach that point more expeditiously - or quick as a bunny as backwoods hunters say.
