(50,254 posts)You can do that without being personally disrespectful. I've never shown personal disrespect for you.
Why not just say WHY you think the ideas I've spoken of can't work.
Why is it silly to think we can win elections by making a case FOR our policies, rather than focusing on negative ads against our opponents?
Or by using tracking polls in the states we have to win?
Or by having our candidate go to the states we have to win rather than having that candidate waste time in states we can't win?
And why the obsession with Indivisible? I respect the group, I probably will join it, but it's not the ONLY effective anti-Trump movement and we can't beat Trump JUST by opposing what he does.
I could understand your fixation with discrediting me if I was actually advocating anything unworkable, like nationalizing most of the economy or abolishing the military, but nothing I've talked about here is even close to that.
And I'm not calling for remaking the party "into Sanders image", whatever that means. I'm calling for remaking the party into the image of what MOST Democrats support and of what majorities of voters in most of the country support.
What I advocate is New Deal/Great Society values on economics and Freedom Movement values on social issues.
DO you have a problem with either of those?
