Why I Think Democrats Lost So Many Elections

[johnlucas]

19. It pisses me off that this golden opportunity of 2008 was UTTERLY WASTED

I don't care about the Democratic label. It really doesn't matter.
It stopped mattering in the 1800s. Read A long story about the Southern Strategy to see why.

Screw the Democratic label. Who cares about it?
The label is just an organizing banner.
It's time for people who want a fairer world & are AGGRESSIVE in making that world happen to represent that banner.

The coalition needs a purging. Needs a remodeling. IMMEDIATELY.
There is no reason why 2014 ended up like it did.

The name of this site is DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND.
I have long said that the DEMOCRATIC part stands for the rah-rah party cheerleaders who don't question the team.
And that the UNDERGROUND part stands for the lone wolf contrarians who challenge the party authority.
The problem with the DEMOCRATIC cheerleaders is while they do provide the bulk of the numbers, they also follow that team player mindset even as the team goes off the cliff.
The problem with the UNDERGROUND contrarians is while they keep the party honest, they're not cohesive enough to get any team to a win.

We have operated more as a DEMOCRATIC Underground in 2014 but the team was going off a cliff so being a team player was useless.
Now is the time to operate as an UNDERGROUND Democratic.
The UNDERGROUND has to repair this machine so the DEMOCRATIC team players have a worthwhile team to work under.

That means the lone wolves eat the hides of this crappy team leadership.
Once the UNDERGROUND restores this team, then the DEMOCRATIC can operate the repaired machine.

So for the time being, the ones who belittle & dismiss those who break rank & challenge the President, Congresspeople, & Party Bosses...
...those guys need to get in the back seat & shutup.
It's not the time for Rah-Rah & President picture worship.
It's time to make sure we can salvage something for 2016 before the whole damn thing is lost.

That means a whole new direction in how the Democratic Party operates.
A nastier rougher ruthless set of people who are committed to ABSOLUTELY DESTROYING the Republican Party.
Not trying to be a statesman, not trying to uphold fair play, none of that old tired jazz.
Someone who will make the Republicans SCARED. Someone who will make them PANIC.
Someone who will FINISH THAT PARTY OFF ONCE AND FOR ALL.

I don't care if it takes dirty tricks. Whatever it takes, FINISH THEM.
We don't go anywhere as a country until the Republican Party is dismantled.
