What's Done is Done

I am surprised to see continuous posts on whose fault it is we lost the House. What's done is done. I personally believe gerrymandering and election fraud had more to do with it than anything else. Based on votes in the last election, we should have swept the house, but we didn't because of the structure of the districts (not of all the redistricting damage was done in 2010, but that is another discussion). But it seems much easier to fight than to focus on the current problem. I've been away from this place for some time. Some things change, some things stayed the same. I've learned one thing in taking a break from DU: there is little gained from arguing about how you got to where you are. Energy is better spent on how to move forward. Looking back is helpful in avoiding mistakes going forward. But when not everything can be known and we spend too much time debating what can't be known, there is nothing gained.
