2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Democrats Get Serious About Voting Rights [View all]nikto
(3,284 posts)Over stuff like
Hillary's appointments to key positions (no more Geitners/Paulsons or Rahm Emanuels, please),
following-thru on policy promises (i.e and at least *fighting hard* for Progressive policies, reagrdless of outcome),
and not surrendering on key points even before negotiations (as Obama did with Public Option and ACA).
We will not, we must not, repeat the mistakes of 2008/12, and stop watching like hawks
after the election is over. Our focus must not be lost after election day, this time around.
The Party must move solidly left on economic policies, no matter how much
the big corporate funder$ may object.
All "Bernie-ites" who supported Hillary will be watching this super-closely.
Once we help get Hillary elected, then the real battle (with corporatists in our own Party)
will commence, and it will not be easy.
