212. OK...compared to Elizabeth Warren, for example?

Other things that mattered were foreign and trade policy and the way this party and the government relate to corporate power.

Nothing we've done or are doing by force in the Arab/Muslim world is ever going to have any progressive or feminist effects.

It's unlikely that "victory" in the old military sense is possible

It doesn't matter which particular despotic force wins power in which country. All despotisms are essentially the same there.

And it's crucial that we re-examine the whole "free trade" thing-trying to get markets open is all very well, but that needs to be done without forcing workers into a race to the bottom.

Those things (especially trade, where our ambiguity on the TPP gave Trump ways to split away some of the vote that should naturally go to this party) matter deeply.

And the way our party and its candidates relate to the activist community matters. We need to be on the side of those working for change from below.

I don't condone the decision of anyone to vote third-party in the fall...but there were choices our party made at the convention(and I'm not talking about the choice of nominee)that made it much harder to persuade some people NOT to vote third-party, while failing to gain us votes from anywhere else on the spectrum.
