In reply to the discussion: A candidate that gets "damaged" by a primary run has no business anywhere near the GE. [View all]Alekzander
(479 posts)I still see the majority of people are with us. The popular vote shows that. However, we have to stand for something & it has to be something the people want & need.
The blue collar workers for one instead of going with the Goldman Sachs crowd.
Also, The DNC Leadership & all Dems need to show those like ourselves that they are willing to fight if they want to keep expecting us to fight as well.
We need to figure out how to unite in a better way because our party is so diversified from environmental groups, unions, women's groups, LGBT, all the minority groups & several others. We all have our priorities & want that placed first but we all need to find a way to come together & fight together.
Also, how does a political party do years of attacks on an individual like Clinton, nothing proven, but they just keep saying it over & over until the candidate is damaged goods even though it is all BS, unproven, lies. They did this because Dems don't fight back enough.
Third Party candidates again was a problem as well but not sure what you can do there.
The republicans are pretty much one because they could care less about the poor & so many of the groups that are in our party but yet they find a way to get people to vote against their own self-interests.
We can do this but we have to stop fighting among ourselves at least for a while until we get it figured out.
