In reply to the discussion: So Tell Me, FUCKING AGAIN, How The Democratic Party Has To Change. [View all]denvine
(869 posts)But to sit back and say everything will be alright is dangerous for we, yes we, Democrats. We just won big in an off year election, one year after electing the most unpopular, narcissistic, unhinged President of all time. To use this as a point that the Democratic party does not need to change or adapt is like saying a merchant who loses money every month of the year except December is doing a great job. Don't be lulled or complacent because of our incredibly welcomed wins last night. One night in a very unusual political climate does not erase the decline of the last eight yrs. So before pointing a finger and saying HA, you were wrong, I think we still need a lot of therapy, organization and learning how to get our message out as a unified party before claiming a long term victory. If there was no reason to change we would not have lost so many seats in the last 8 yrs. I'd also like to add that we already have begun to change as a party so perhaps last night was a signal that we are going in the right direction but not a signal to rest on our laurels and refuse to learn from the past.
