Your acceptance doesn't win or lose elections.

We won in 2008 because the biggest fuck-up in American History spent eight years screwing up the country like few predecessors could have imagined in their worst nightmares. And then we barely won. And when we tried to fix things, we lost control of the House. We don't win on the basis of our ideas -- we win because Republicans are so massively craven and incompetent that for a moment, people vote for us out of desperation. The minute they don't feel desperate, they go back to the Republicans.
