Government by slogan. This is not our problem. Stop the BS!!!

Instead of rallying around their own platform agenda from 2016 and not apologizing for HRC's campaign and not taking on the memes of the GOP is what we should be doing.

We should be out there fighting, screaming, and protesting. We need to not lie to ourselves and get out there and let the people know that we know Trump won by appealing to the racist, sexist, anti-other, anti-poor, anti-LBGT, hateful rhetoric of the alt right and by appealing to our own anti-HRC base to stay home or go 3rd. Kpete said it best here.

We need to tell the people who stayed home that this is all about them getting out there and fighting for themselves.

But mostly we need to tell Chuckie boy and Nancy to stop the namby-pamby attempts to win by slogan...we are better than that. Our platform was not shameful or unappealing to working men and woman and we need to say that and fight for it!

Notice the GOP does not back down from their hatefulness because we don't fight it.
