In reply to the discussion: Who caused Dems to lose the House in 2010? You did. [View all]last1standing
(11,709 posts)I'm willing to take some blame for 2010. Not because I pushed Democrats to the left, which I did, but because I wasn't able to get out more votes than I did. It was very hard to convince the same independents and casual voters that the party I had claimed would fix things really would after two years of Democratic caving and insults toward the "loony left."
But the point of this OP was that regardless of who is to blame (all of us and no one), this is a time to stand together and reject those who are trying to divide us by dragging all this up. Instead, too many found the need to justify themselves and their actions more important than dealing with an outside threat.
I don't have much hope for 2014 or any other election if the posts in this thread are indicative of the larger party.
