(62,325 posts)My solution to start all over again. Voters are doing this now by focusing on Local Elections. Eg, while elected Dems lost this time, Progressive Issues WON wherever voters found them on Local Ballots. That wipes out the claim that Progressive policies are not what the people want.
I think this is very exciting. We've been focusing on DC for the past decade where it is clear the people are ignored. But locally, they have power and they exercised in this election.
Aside from the Issues, beginning the process of rebuilding our Party locally, finding people who care about the issues people care about, which DC has demonstrated, they do not.
It will take time, it took the Third Way a couple of decades to accomplish their goals. But across the country people are now taking care of THEMSELVES. DC is a Corporate Bubble, run by billionaires who are out of touch, who actually appear to have nothing but disdain and disrespect for the Working Class, the elderly, the poor, the PEOPLE iow.
The people are ignored in DC, but definitely not locally.
I believe Manny knows what needs to be done. How about you?
