(62,325 posts)at their local levels and WON. THAT is what concerns them, the ISSUES they got passed that they know will never pass in DC. So Progressives have changed tactics now, they are rebuilding the party from the ground up, finding candidates THEY want for national office, seeing so few at that level now.
Who chooses the Presidential Candidates?? I think voters fully understand how that has been done now. And now, especially the young, are DOING something about it.
The turnout WAS low, for national elections, one of the lowest ever. Do you know why it was so low? Instead of whining on the internet it would be a whole lot of better of people looked at what happened and rather than doing WHAT CONTRIBUTED TO IT, refusing to listen to voters, they might stop and think for a while and maybe say to themselves 'you know attacking voters really is ridiculous, we ought to be trying to find out what they want'. But I guess it's easier to attack rather than listen and so long as that is the Campaign Strategy, the results at the National Level will remain the same or worse.
Meantime I am a whole lot more enthusiastic about working locally to help find and support Dem candidates who actually support issues that the people support, with their votes and eventually sending them to DC to replace the Corporate funded candidates who are so out of touch with the people they don't have a clue, or any interest, in what the voters want and will voted for.
