We are doomed

When posters on this site are buying into garbage like Ned Lamont being the leader of the antiwar sentiment clearing the way for progressive candidates, I know we are losing the war when it comes to educating our fellow americans.

1. sorry but, who is Ned Lamont? nt

[question everything]

2. Beat Joe Lieberman in the CT Democratic primaries

Was like the NY-34: many outsiders got involved in local elections and their candidate lost.

Ned didnt show up for three years after and didnt make a peep about the war till he figured out it might help his chances. Long after we marched in the streets.
