A 50 state strategy requires a big tent

[HenryWallace]

87. Sadly, it is evidence; it is just not what you want to hear.

If the Party cannot muster a full-throated support for economic and social policies that materially benefit the great majority of Americans, well maybe it’s time it faded into history! And no, “hang in there because we are better than the alternative” is not articulating a clear vision of a better future.

Become the Party of rational centrists; well, the Whig party disappeared in eight years when it couldn’t adapt.

You desperately want to bring Bernie Sanders in this; but he is irrelevant now! You have yet to deal with the reality of a massive Party implosion: It has been over 90 plus years since fewer Democrats have held elected office (you know, since right before the last Progressive Era https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Era)


PS: Since you clearly distain the wisdom of those who have gone before us, I will leave with another Truman quote:

"Given the choice between a Republican and someone who acts like a Republican, people will vote for the real Republican all the time..." (Written in a personal letter to LBJ: Yet another southern Progressive)
