Post mortem thread. Why did we lose?

165. Wrong, and its way past time to end this deception. In poll after poll the American people

support a Progressive agenda.

We WON in 2008 because Dems RAN ON A PROGRESSIVE agenda.

Then they stopped being Progressive and they lost voters, see 2010.

The Dem Party turned RIGHT after it was infiltrated by the DLC/Third Way who support a Conservative agenda. We don't need two Republican Parties.

Now we'll see if THIS TIME the Dem Party finally gets it. They need to start standing up for the ideals that they claim to stand for.

Caving, even when they WON with a mandate, to the Right, lost them the confidence of the people who elected them in huge numbers, handing them the WH, the Senate AND Congress. Right off the bat they should have kept the campaign promises they WON ON. But that didn't happen.

Until they are pulled all the way back to the Left, they will continue to lose.

The current leadership despises the Left almost as much as Republicans do. Left Independents stayed home in 2010. The leadership lied and blamed Democrats WHO DID VOTE. People are sick to death of all the excuses which sound more like attacks on the people who ELECTED THEM.

So sick of it all, sick of losing, sick of watching them cave to Republicans even when in the majority.

Now it's time to end this experiment where the Dem Party goes further and further to the Right, because it isn't working.
