(14,040 posts)a Republican... Yes, he did great things but still, a Republican. Oh, the irony. Anyway, now that you've stated for the millionth time that the current field of Democrats are losers, how do you propose we actually go about getting these new generals? The generals you despise are not only running for President but also run the DNC--the body who decides who gets to run and who gets the money to run?
I'd say that 99% of politicians that get to the national level have been corrupted in some way or are beholden to someone (and it isn't the American people). It's very rare that they aren't. So in order to get good generals I see the following having to happen:
Win the House of Representatives and fill it with good generals.
Win the Senate and fill it with good generals.
Win the Presidency and fill it with good generals.
Fill the DNC with good generals.
Put good generals on the US Supreme Court (cause all the good generals in government mean diddly without the good generals on the USSC)
How do you propose we do all this by 2016? What with the gerrymandered districts in most states leaning in favor of Republicans... we're lucky we held on to the Senate with good or bad generals. And if it can't be done by 2016, what do you propose we do, let the Republicans win to prove a point?
It's one thing to create heartfelt posts about wanting something different but it does no good if you don't outline how we as a party work together to get that different thing. Otherwise it's just repetitive whining.
