2016 Postmortem

Choosing Keith would not be about genuflecting to Bernie(Bernie's candidacy was solely about the issues-he personally hadn't planned to run and probably didn't want to-he would have stayed out of Elizabeth Warren had declared her candidacy-and, if nominated, she WOULD have won, because Trump had nothing more to attack her about...the only thing was the non-issue of her supposedly claiming Native American ancestry-it was proved that she didn't do that in college, so all we're talking about here is someone making what turned out to be a inaccurate statement about her family based on false information her relatives had given her. There was nothing else at all)). It's about changing how the party is run and who it is oriented towards FOR THE BETTER(the only people who'd lose anything are the Wall Street wing, and this fall's result shows that big donations, by themselves, aren't much of anything-fundraising advantage can't elect us in situations where the voters have issues with the nominee). It's about gaining us votes and making sure what happened in November doesn't happen again.

We all know that running the same campaign in 2018 and 2020 means continuing to lose ground.
