In reply to the discussion: So...what exactly counts as "bashing the party" or "attacking Democrats" these days? [View all]Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)Don't we need to start from a strong enough set of principles that the compromises are as limited as possible?
And then doesn't their need to be a "keep the faith" statement, in which those who make the compromise at one time announce that "this isn't over-the fight goes on!" and use the situation to mobilize support to elect enough people next time to get MORE of what we want?
What some of us are saying is that, in a situation where a compromise result occurs, those who make the compromise have some responsibility to those disappointed by the compromise to keep them in the game-that we can't just be dismissive and treat those people like they're making a big deal over nothing and should just give up until the NEXT Democratic president.
Something in the pattern of communication there needs to change.
