I listened to it, hoping it would be just that. It wasn't. It was a lot of unrealistic happy talk that is out of touch with the urgency of the situation.

I never said the video was the totality of what Democrats were doing, or even the totality of what members of Congress were doing. I simply said I had hoped for more when I spent an hour of my time listening to a bunch of folks telling me that things aren't that bad now and will be even better in two years when we win the house back.

I have devoted a considerable amount of my life to activism, including working on behalf of the Democratic Party. If you don't like my opinion of the video - tough noogies.
