Why Democrats lost

134. Simply join with the mainstream?

Um, the beauty of a democracy is that no one "has" to join the mainstream.

I'm so sick and tired of the tired meme of "making the perfect the enemy of the good." Can you give me an example of where I've made the perfect the enemy of the good or are you reverting to anti-progressive, pro-Third Way talking points?

I've frankly only ever seen that phrase used to defend shit policies masquerading as good policies. No one ever has to use it to defend policies that are actually good as those policies speak for themselves.

Give me a good policy and I'll defend it.

And we will never defeat Republicans by trying to more like them. It hasn't worked since 1994, and it won't start working now. We will defeat Republicans by standing for something. Like economic justice, a fair economy, a just judicial system, and good education for all. When we start watering it down by offering people a hope of a chance of an opportunity for fairness, they know that is some bullshit and they walk away.
