And So It Begins
On January 20th, the leadership of our nation will be passed from Barack Hussein Obama to Donald J. Trump.
The leadership of our country will pass out of the hands of an eloquent statesman and into the hands of Twittering fool who can’t even spell, no less put two coherent words together.
The reins of power will go from a man who gained the respect of the global community to a man whose ignorance and idiocy is already the punchline of jokes in newspapers around the world.
The First Family will no longer be the scandal-free role models a nation can look to with pride, but will now be a group of scandal-ridden misfits who outsource jobs to low-wage countries in order to add to their own business fortunes.
The man in charge of our national security will no longer be a man who rightfully placed sanctions on Russia, but will now be a man who owes his pResidency to their manipulations.
The man who will now occupy the Oval Office will go from being a President who won the position, twice, based on the votes of his countrymen to a man who had more citizens vote against him than for him.
The man who will represent us on the global stage will go from being a President who strives for diplomacy, understanding, and international cooperation to a man who talks about “using nukes” as though they were playthings to be toyed with according to his childish whims.
The White House will no longer be the home of a family the world admires and respects, but will be the when-convenient stopping-off place for a family that the world looks down upon – for their crassness, their lack of class, their self-promotion, and their total disrespect for the positions they hold as the First Family.
The man who fought for so many things that improved, enriched – even saved – the lives of his fellow citizens will be handing the torch of leadership over to a man who will do everything in his power to un-do what has been done in the People’s name, who will serve as the puppet of a foreign power, who will treat the lives of his fellow citizens as expendable, who will endanger our national security, and who will more than likely plunge our beloved country into ruin and despair.
THAT is what is going to happen.
So where do we go from here? Do we unite as a party – or do we continue to slice/dice/julienne the primaries and the GE? Are we going to move forward, or are we going to dwell in the past and dissect every campaign move, parse every statement and speech, create endless spreadsheets showing how if we’d just done this instead of that we’d have won this election in a landslide?
What is about to take place on January 20th is not an Excel presentation, it is not a reality-show that can eventually be cancelled due to a lack of viewers, it is not the trigger to the Revolution.
It IS what it IS. So do we stand together in resisting it, fighting it, undermining it? Or do we go our separate ways, where some of us fight while others re-perform the same autopsy for the brazillionth time in order to tell us where we went wrong?
It’s time to pick a side.

Why do people need a "leader" to do something? 
This is probably one of the biggest cop-outs ever and is just silly. Movements are not single issue nor do they have single solutions. Start at the local level and volunteer to do grassroots organizing for a local election that may eventually produce the next class of politicians that can run for state/federal offices. There are far too many incumbents - notably in GOP areas - that have no one from the Democratic party running against them.
There is no "me" or "you" or "her" but "we" and "us".... where each individual contributes to the collective.
Me? With all of the Sanders is a Hero I'm seeing? I give him until January 31st to totally and completely destroy the Republican Party or I want him to get out of our Gen X leadership's way. I can't relate to that guy. I can relate to Booker and Gillibrand - they are like me.
Party...."
So you're giving Bernie an "ultimatum", as it were?
That's something for him to contemplate, I'm sure. 
btw if you are going to quote someone, it is dishonest to insert your own emphasis without so noting it. I distinctly placed the emphasis on with which is a different meaning than you created.
Two further points on your post. According to you and many others, Sanders would have won if only the party hadn't been so unfair (how dare those SDs prefer someone other than Bernie!). You then say that Hillary lost without bothering to note that she encountered huge unethical and illegal tactics by the Russian hacks, Comey, et al. It is also very telling that you chose to describe Hillary as loser and Bernie as the runner up. That is straight out of a propaganda textbook!
Tell me again how the Party doesn't need an overhaul, but I do.
