Democrats used to stand for principles

13. Progressive WON in the last election. Now if the leadership again refuses to hear the voters,

there will be more losses. They are choosing and pushing Candidates the voters just don't want and refusing to back those the voters DO want. So the voters got what they wanted this time. And next time they are planning to add to those numbers.

No use trying to get DC to listen after all this time when they have refused to do so. So now, with two midterm victories for voters, Progressive Dems keeping their seats with a few more added, the groundwork has been laid for more victories for the voters.

Not to mention Issues again where DC turns a deaf ear to voters and babbles on even when we give them the House, Senate and the WH, about 'having to compromise' to WACKO RIGHT WINGNUTS.

So voters have discovered they CAN get the issues that are important to them pushed forward, locally where it counts while DC continues to be non functional with too much compromise from our Party.

It will take time, but it took time to get to where we are and the sooner the ship is turned around, however slowly, the better. And that process has already begun. And it's a shame the Leadership has ignored those successes which proves how important it is for voters to do it themselves.

I mean the Left has been told for nearly a decade now, to just 'stfu' and vote. That isn't a great strategyl. It worked when Bush was the issue, but after that, it simply won't work anymore.

When we see the Dem Party VOTING for and ENDORSING a Republican Gov in a Blue State, I mean they say to themselves 'WHAT IS GOING ON HERE' while telling US to just 'vote'???

People, contrary to the arrogant opinions of inside the DC political bubble, are NOT stupid. And the old 'just hold your nose'
and vote, then seeing the result of that, SS 'on the table' eg, means, is getting a big 'no thank you'. WE will select the Dems we want. We have and they won. Now we will select more Dems and do the same thing, support them, not the ones chosen for us.

All the party has to do is to really look at the mid terms and see the victories, and the losses, mostly theirs, and start WANTING to WIN by listening to voters, not these totally clueless political pundits, or paid operatives and think tanks who are so far removed from the people, it's obvious by their failures.
