WE gave them the House, the Senate and the WH.
THEY lost the House and now the Senate!
WE kept Progressives in their seats and elected dozens of them across the country to school boards, local legislatures etc and a few in Congress.
It was not OUR job to support the Third Wayers the Party pushed AGAIN on voters and AGAIN, lost.
When a party LOSES an election, it is NOT the voters' fault.
But the stupidity of BLAMING the Voters, is yet another foolish, stupid tactic guaranteed to drive them away and see more losses for the party.
We will stay focused on Congress and Local elections from now on. Thankfully there are some great Liberal Organizations taking over this task since DC has little time for the 'Left'. The truth is THEY need US more than WE need them. But so far in their disdain for anything left of Nixon, they are still hoping they can attract Republicans I suppose.
