Showing Original Post only (View all)Dear Skinner: let's leave 2016 behind on... Dec. 31st 2016 [View all]
I think many of us cheered Jon Oliver when, on his last program - for the year - he ran around Fuck 2016!
I appreciate the Postmortem 2016. I gave it a shot myself. And I understand the desire of many to revert to the old Hillary and Sanders camps and blaming game. I took part of it myself.
But let's have a fresh start on January 1st 2017. Let's have GD 2018. We did gain some seats in the House and the Senate and we should continue with this. Mostly, I think, we need to go down to the local level to hold back the tide that cost us so may office holders.
Let's leave 2016 behind, including in the name of a main forum.
Thanks
(Unless there are important elections in 2017, than it should be GD 2017..)
