The new loss is the same as the last loss, ain't it

in terms of demographics?

2010 http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1110/44802.html

yesterday http://crooksandliars.com/2014/11/wave-65-voters-put-wingnuts-control-senate

a failure to sell the product sufficiently to the customers most likely to show up, as well as lacking in inducements for the younger crew to come out? Gee, who do you suppose a chained cpi proposal motivated? http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCYQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.salon.com%2F2013%2F04%2F05%2Fnew_poll_shows_many_hate_chained_cpi%2F&ei=XEBaVMPdLYq5yQSmzIGoCg&usg=AFQjCNESOMlhHhOFrXG4oS4WMyFAFFwz1w&bvm=bv.78677474,d.aWw http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=7&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CFAQFjAG&url=http%3A%2F%2Famericablog.com%2F2012%2F12%2Fpelosi-caves-on-chained-cpi-i-consider-it-a-strengthening-of-social-security.html&ei=XEBaVMPdLYq5yQSmzIGoCg&usg=AFQjCNHwmp3GOvtBTssFfUd1v4zhnXzVfw&bvm=bv.78677474,d.aWw

Personally I blame this guy http://crooksandliars.com/2014/11/nader-time-clean-out-top-dems-and-start who in many ways popularized the criticising of our leaders (from the left) that according to some is the real if not sole cause for the losses, which is why it has so stridently been discouraged.

The bewildering part about all of this is what's the difference between all the criticisms that has led to a dem schism involving complaints about thirdwayisms and a lack of liberalism/progressivisms or too much rightwingnut that carries with it, and whines about how the dems that lost being attributable to their cutting the tether between themselves and all the alleged liberal/progressive accomplishments outta DC in the last few years. Aren't they both whines about losses that a lack of liberal/progressive policy advocacy?

It seems to me that this election has made ______ of us all, no?
