I don't get the negativity and I never will

74. We are very much on the same page, Cary

However, and this is not a criticism, we cannot win the next big election just by voting Democratic. We also need to convince enough independents (and maybe some R's too) that our candidate and slate is the best for the nation, for the states, for the communities.

To this end we need to reach out to all Americans, no matter how idiotic some of us think they are for voting as they did in the last election. Like you said, we need to be positive, we need to be inclusive, we need to refrain from the childish negativity and accentuate the positive at all times.

This is something I think Obama was able to do most of the time and it in large part accounted for his electoral victories.

Of course it starts with Democrats voting Democratic, but it needs to include many others to vote similarly.
