Progressive astute David PAKMAN warns against Libs abandoning politics over loss

This fellow is sharp as a tack and regularly faces down ROGAN, Piers MORGAN, Patrick BET-DAVID, and other wingnuts on their own shows. What might not sit well here is that a week or two before the election he warned about serious signs that ran contrary to the sunny or neck-and-neck polls, for which he was excoriated by many of our fellow Libs. In this video the day after the election, he saw thousands of cancellations in subscriptions due to despair and giving up.

As long as there is a fierce resistance, there is a chance that we will overcome. Eventually.

by Pakman, but I have heard some of the people he mentioned say that immediately after the election their numbers took a nosedive, but as of yesterday (Friday) the numbers were back up to near pre-election numbers. Hopefully things level out for them all soon ~ we need their voices!

the party that wants to destroy whatever future potential we might have is Republican. My beef with
Democrats is that a good number are institutionalists and R's don't give a damn about institutions.
Hence, the political approach of the parties and their relationship to voters is wildly different.
