In reply to the discussion: Hillary Throws Shade at Bernie: 'Fundamentally Wrong' About Democratic Party [View all]Progressive2020
(713 posts)Hillary certainly has a right to do a post-mortem of the 2016 Election in a book. Simply as a matter of history regardless of other reasons.
That said, I think that, as a community, we do need to move on though. It is time to work on healing divisions and trying to figure out how to win in 2018 and 2020.
I am not suggesting that this is easy. It is necessary if we are to defeat Trump and the Repubs in Congress, not to mention fighting back in the States to take over Governorships, Legislatures, Local Offices, etc.
So, clearly there remains some bad blood between some Sanders Folks and some Hillary Folks. Both sides deserve their say, and I begrudge neither Sander's nor Clinton's right to state their positions and write books, go on book tours, etc.
My point is that we need to get beyond 2016 and focus on 2018 and 2020. Obvious, yes, but sometimes the most important points are right in front of us and need to be re-stated.
So, what can we do to heal rifts and unite for Progressive and Democratic victory in 2018 and 2020? That is the most important question in my mind.
