It certainly won't happen if we have a core group of malcontents like Chauncey DeVega (and others often quoted here) who continually do their level best to denigrate and smear Democrats and our Democratic leadership with claims that they are "do-nothings" or "weak" or "too nice" or that Democrats are "not serious" or that we "don't care".
This follows right on the heels of the hit-parade of other popular smears like: Democrats are "Coastal Elites"; the "party of the one percent"; "ideologically bankrupt"; "feeble"; "corrupt"; "an absolute failure"; and of course the biggest lie of all "no difference between Democrats and Republicans".
What useful purpose does it serve? It's just another example of how people are oddly willing to do and say things that create an atmosphere of fear and hopelessness and negativity. Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.
I'm sick of it, too! You're right... it's always "do something RFN" but never any guidance of what they think the Democrats should be doing, and in those rare instances where something is proffered, it's always unrealistic and demonstrates a genuine lack of understanding of how politics work in the real world.
