(15,398 posts)Bottom line is we lost big. Considering the results in terms of Republican control of WH, both houses of Congress, the chance for them to nominate ANOTHER right wing Justice during Trump's term, GOP control of 32 state legislatures and 33 governorships and God knows how many local governments, we've clearly been doing SOMETHING wrong. Why is it so hard to do soul searching and revise our approach? We did laugh at the GOP in 2008 and 2012 for their glaring inability to do so. And they changed WAY for the worse. They ran Trump, for God's sake! He should NEVER, EVER have even come close to winning the election.
To me, when you fail big, and I have failed big a couple times in my life, you learn the lesson, get back up, dust yourself off, put a smile on your face, and climb back in the ring. Did you get that? First, you've got to learn whatever the lesson that put you flat on your back is. Then you get up and move forward.
But, no, here we are with the umpteenth thread trashing Bernie.
