The Democratic party is an absolute failure.

[Eko]

163. Ok here is some english.

"Just post his entire sentence so people can see he was talking about tactics in reference to the fact that we have lost election after election rather than some other aspect of the Democratic Party. "
But, the actual words are "The current model and the current strategy of the Democratic Party is an absolute failure."
When you add "and" to a sentence with two different nouns it is saying that they are two different things. Like "an apple and a orange. " You can take out "current" and you get this "the model and strategy" which are two different things.
No where in there did he say "tactics". The two nouns are "model" and "strategy" not tactics.
Since he said "model and strategy" leaving out current as current can mean the last 10 min or the last hundred years that means they are two different things.
Strategy means a plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim.
To put it plain that means he thinks the plan of actions or policies of the Democratic party are a absolute failure. Fair enough, I disagree but we certainly can do way better.
When you use "Model" towards a political party it means their platforms, ideological and philosophical beliefs, structure, it encompasses everything.
Exactly what do you think he meant by saying "model"?
Once again, there is no "tactics" in the quote.
And you need these to make it a quote,"". So unless I put those on anything other than his quote I did not misquote him.
I also never implied that he "hates the Democratic party". That would be straw man.
Thanks!
