7. Wrong! I'm a lifelong active and loyal Democrat on a tear to win back the 1000 seats we lost.

My posts are not full of inaccuracies and it is time to own up, wake up, and fix the mess.

I have REPEATEDLY said in MANY posts that Clinton won the majority. Doesn't matter in the end because she LOST the electoral college and LOST the presidency under our system. I have REPEATEDLY said there were MANY reasons for it; that Russia was part of it, that the Comey letter was part of it, that third party vote splitting was part of it, and that people staying home and not voting at all was part of it. But it was also because there were real campaign mistakes, ACKNOWLEDGED BY CLINTON HERSELF REPEATEDLY. She relied too heavily on analytics, virtually failed to campaign at all in key states, was too lackluster, talked about economics but did not put it front and center, etc. Her vote count was higher than Trump's but far too concentrated in urban areas and lost many areas Obama had won and had a lower overall total than Obama's.

But it goes well beyond Clinton and 2016. In 2010, 2014, AND 2016 the party as a whole ran SHITTY campaigns and LOST 1000 LEGISLATIVE SEATS, all levels of government, and all branches of the federal government. And the DNC under Wasserman-Schultz SUCKED.

Much of the gerrymandering you talk about happened after 2010. You fix it by winning back the swing districts with an effective political party.

Emails? Are you serious? I have had my skin in the game bigtime for decades. All these scattered political emails are NOT a clear, succinct, resonating, compelling MESSAGE. You don't get it. The party needs one clear and strong MESSAGE, not just a bunch of helter skelter emails from a bunch of people about all manner of issues.

And it doesn't matter what the hell that long platform is if the party fails to have one clear, strong, compelling message. You can't just hope that people will read some long document. You have to form a succinct, resonating political message and our party has SUCKED at it in recent elections. I would like to fix this and win again, along with fixing a host of other problems.

Do you have ANY interest in understanding why this mess has happened, the party's own role in it, and fixing the mess? Any at all? Do you want to actually OWN the mess and fix it? If so, great. If you just want to keep making excuses and trying to justify away the party's problems and not fix them then I suggest you get out of the way and leave the work to the rest of us. Because this year we can't just be the anti-Trump party. That is only half the battle. We need a strong, compelling, clear and succinct message based around a clear very value set and a very short list of key issues.

The party needs to learn now to brand and message itself again and talk CLEAR and STRONG again and it needs to take off the gloves and FIGHT again, and that means GET THE HELL ON OFFENSE AND STAY THERE. Simple as that.

Oh, and if you have in fact read all my posts you will have seen that I spend a ton of time BASHING THE SHIT OUT OF THE RE-SCUMLICAN PARTY as I have done in this OP. Gee, I guess that says something about my party loyalty.
