(3,012 posts)I have been real disheartened by the blame game, especially when we dont even have clear data yet. And as a progressive to constantly hear we dont belong or we are the problem is just getting to be too much.

Like she mentioned, all the different types of community groups that brought the win and tend to lean progressive . We belong, because together, we made up a big part of the win just under many names
She sounds positive about Bidens commitment .

(53,473 posts)but we have to recognize that the word socialism is absolutely toxic to millions of Americans, has been for decades and remains so.
Having two nationally prominent Democrats call themselves democratic socialists is just a loser in districts far from theirs. All repug opponents have to do is mention their names as radical socialists closely aligned with their specific Democratic opponent in attack ads and it's damaging even if the race is in states thousands of miles away from New York or Vermont.
Progressivism is not the same as socialism and certainly doesn't have the toxic taint in America that socialism does.
We have to fix that. We have to be smarter.

(6,699 posts)The Democratic Party is the party of THE PEOPLE....it's a "big tent", as I've often heard. Clowns like Tapper LOVE to exploit the different wings of the Democratic Party, for the sake of "filler time" on their airwaves. I'm really done with listening to jackasses like himself...stooges that damage the Democratic Party as a whole, with this kind of bull shit.
There are hosts I enjoy, and who are careful not to sacrifice the potential of the Democratic Party for the sake of "ratings"...that feed the reich wing GOPutinistas. Fuck him....and all like him. There's a half dozen of these soulless clowns.
