All I can respond is, Facepalm: Poll: 50 percent say GOP majority is bad

46. Wow, are we talking about the same election?

Or are you putting words into my mouth. I was talking about our party in 2012, in which we campaigned on none of that. We read the polls enough to know that the President, and the ACA were unpopular, but that was all. We didn't campaign on one populist issue, not one. We ignored the biggest one, the Economy. We Democrats ran on the War on Women to the extent that Senator Udall was called Senator Uterus by the reporters covering the election.

Here is the crowd laughing at Democrat candidate for the House from New York Martha Robertson who broke it out during a debate.

We brushed other issues aside. They didn't matter, or we had nothing for them. That is what I was saying, now I watched the election as close as anyone. I was warning about the danger to the Senate back in March.

I was talking about polling and populist issues in other posts back then, begging the Democratic Party to address and embrace those issues. I wrote candidates and told them they had to address the populist issues. We got squat in return except more demands for donations. Why did we have to donate? Why if we didn't the Republicans would continue their war on women.

Now, if reading the truth upsets you so much, then I don't know where you can go to read liberal posts. Because I'm not going to walk into 2016 with our eyes closed. Our plan was for the Republicans to self destruct, to hand us the election with another Real Rape quote. Instead, the Republicans ran smart, and professional campaigns, and we got our asses kicked because we didn't.

Now you can bemoan the Republicans taking the Senate if you want, but they won because we didn't fight. We expected them to do all the work for us. We declared their party dead. We declared them dead after Romney lost, after Obama won in 2008, after the Government Shutdown, after the Sandy Hook background vote debacle, and after a dozen other incidents. Yet, the Republicans still won. What did we have to get our voters to the polls? Why we had the War on women. They had populist issues and they ran on them. We ignored Populist issues including demilitarizing the police, decriminalizing Marijuana, reigning in the NSA.

I could go on, but can you tell me what potential Presidential Candidate is addressing those populist issues? Someone is reading the polls, and it's not on our side. They see that the people favor those reforms in at least a plurality, and most often in a majority. Yet we continue to ignore the issues because we don't want to look weak on crime, weak on the war on drugs, and weak on terrorism. We're more afraid of being blamed for something, than standing for something.

So blame me like my posts here are somehow hurting the Democrats. Frankly I'd be astonished if they were, because the Democratic Party is self destructing as fast as possible without any input from one blue collar guy from Rural Georgia.
