Well I hope all the crying and complaining is over and Progressives realize it is time to move on. (No pun intended) Apparently the Democrats forgot what the word Progressive means and just tried to give us the same old. We need to progress for the next 2 years and realize that we "The Democrats" are the party of the people. We were out played by a huckster who just wanted to make a joke out of the process & in doing that he became the President-Elect and soon to be sworn in President.
Wake up and realize that our candidate, although superior to her rival, did not communicate properly the the working class voter. She took for granite that she was the supposed anointed one and would breeze in to the Oval Office. I don't understand that as things got close to the end that her Cracker Jack team still didn't realize that they could possibly lose to this con man. A big shame on her and her team. They were just plain out coached and that was it.
So what now. The Democrats have to be more vigilante and take the time and effort to examine who they will run for office - from the local end all the way to the top. Howard Dean had it right when he established the 50 state plan from the bottom up. It did produce many victories; from school boards to the congress. It is time to see if it can be done again and or refined to produce results. There was a reason why Vince Lombardi had the Packers run the famous Packer sweep all the time - It was successful.
So let's stop crying and act like the offices are ours just because; but we have to figure out how to gain the MOJO back and realize that it is always about change and not the same old thing.
We need to move forward and make progress by being PROGRESSIVE.
