2016 Postmortem

Some soul searching has to happen in the DNC, certainly. Pointing fingers and assigning blame is, at this point, rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. That ship has sailed! Time to move forward. So, let's focus on a true populist message that stays inside of progressive, liberal, and Democratic wheelhouse that will get people out to vote. At the same time, let's focus on fighting tooth and nail against Trump and his deep swamp of GOP operatives who desire nothing more than to reverse any progress of the last 8 years. The inauguration hasn't even happened yet, and we're already seeing the defunding of Planned Parenthood, dismantling of the EPA, repealing Obamacare, and foxes guarding the hen house in every department of the federal government.

To be progressive, we'll have to progress, and that means move forward. We have some lessons to learn from what happened in the general, but we have to take those lessons forward and make some changes. Lots of fights to have over the next 4 years.
