(4,835 posts)But our system of government is built on compromise, we don't need a revolution.
What we need is a method of disseminating the ACTUAL republican record. That's where the DNC is failing. Too many people vote republican because they believe they are the party of fiscal responsibility since they're the ones that want to cut spending. Folks believe that the republicans are the party that wants less government, yet they're the ones against marriage equality freedom of religion (other than Christian), and are against choice.
Sure, the democrats could better represent us, but as long as we have people who believe the republican's stupid nonsense, we aren't going to get anywhere. There's too much gerrymandering to take back the House of Representatives, so until people understand that the republicans are the problem, there isn't going to be a sanders revolution.
That's DWS failing, they need to brag up the positives of the democrats instead of constantly begging for money. They need to make videos like Robert Reich does and run TV spots instead of expensive commercials.
We need 'down ticket' victories even worse than we need the White House if any of Sanders agenda is to be advanced.
