To clarify...when I posted the clip of the song "The Party Is Always Right"...

[Ken Burch]

79. I AM a Democratic Party supporter, just as much as they are.

My theory is that the ones who push back simply don't want the party to change in any way.

I recognize that we need to stop Trump.

It doesn't contradict that realization to note that 2016 proved, for the rest of eternity, that we can't win by just saying "stop Trump".

That's why I've been so vocal. I've seen, over and over again, that we never win by just saying "Stop ____"

We lost badly in 1980 and 1984 by reducing it to "stop Reagan"...and in 1988 by reducing it to "stop Bush". We lost the Electoral Cllege in 2000 by reducing it to "stop the next Bush" and lost by a larger margin in 2004 by doing the same thing again. And it cist us the Electoral College this year. We could have won this year by centering our campaign on the unity platform.

Obama won by doing what we should do...by running FOR, not just against.

How, Eliot, is it damaging to this party to argue that we should run the kind of campaign that elected the last Democratic president?
