I have a feeling the next 20 months or so are going to suck here on DU. Royally.

40. Why do you think that? The only way that will happen is if the Dem Party Leadership

doesn't start listening to the voters and start backing Democratic Candidates the public can vote FOR rather than the Wall St funded right leaning candidates they have been backing for so long now.

See this election. All they have to do is LISTEN to the voters, which is what they are supposed to do but up to now have treated voter like dirt, name calling, insulting and BLAMING voters for their own failures.

As we have seen in two elections now, those, understandably to any intelligent person, are failed tactics.

So I'm hoping the party leadership has finally learned that Dems want Dem policies implemented and they need to provide Candidates whose voting records tell the voters where they stand. If they present candidates who vote with Republicans a whole lot of the time, they will lose again. And blaming the voters again won't change that, in fact it's likely going to anger them even more.

So instead of attacking voters, if people decide to listen and acknowledge the real concerns of DUers on this forum, there is no reason to assume things will be terrible here.
