Post mortem thread. Why did we lose?

183. Yep. You're right. Today's Washington Post's op-ed about "6 mistakes Obama made" that cost the Dems.

Was absolutely bullshit!

They blamed Obama for the beheadings by ISIS and wavering on whether to send troops to war? What?
They blamed Obama for the ebola crisis. Really?
They blamed him because Republicans shut down the government. Oh yes indeed!
They blamed Obama for the lack of immigration reform, even though the Republican congress blocked every single measure. (Now, I think this is the only valid argument because the day he reversed himself on immigration reform was a HUGE mistake. I actually do think that he may have turned off Hispanic voters. Nevertheless, it's Obama's fault, according to the writers, that women and children were being raped and killed at the Texas border.)
They blamed him for the ACA rollout. O.K. somewhat valid but negated by all the successes we've seen.

And I can't remember what the last one was.

But every single day, I come here on DU and witness Democrats peddling these exactly same memes that the Corporate Media and Republicans dish out and lay at the feet of this president--all the while saying nothing about the fact that Republicans have done absolutely nothing to help ordinary Americans.

Oh, we deserve what we get. We deserve it all.
