(479 posts)down & deep, we did a lot of it ourselves. I am not going to diss Clinton, I voted for her & I never vote third party or sit at home & don't vote if my candidate of choice does not win. It is my belief that only helps the other guy.
Check out all of the social issues that we won in various states that had them on the ballot. If we get it together, the people are with us, right candidate, right message & we win. After all, it is an important fact that Clinton defeated Trump by 3 million votes or more.
However, I think there were things & issues that came out that show we need to look at our DNC, look at how we choose our primary candidates, who we let on or keep off the debate stage, so many things. Before anything maybe look inward at ourselves with no blame of others, ourselves or anyone but just do a complete of analysis of who we are, what our goals are, get back to what the party really was at one time.
I realize we need to have a lot of money to run candidates but we found out we can raise a lot of money in small amounts with our grassroots with the right candidate too. It may take more, but there is a way I am sure.
This is not good I know & Trump is not normal & I don't like establishment members making excuses of playing nice with him or saying we have to do the give & take thing but I believe there are enough hopefully commonsense republicans & dems that we can stand fast on many things, hopefully, save something but regardless now is now & we need to be ready for the future, midterms if we can.
