Great article.

We protest with pink hats; they protest with AK47s.

Harris ran an excellent campaign, but she was running a campaign and they were fighting a war.

They are willing to go scorched earth; we are not.

They are unbound by the law; we are hobbled by it.

For them, winning is everything, even if they can’t govern. For us, governing is everything even if we can’t win. (Failing to realize that if you don’t win you can’t govern.)

Bernie is awesome, but we need someone young, someone who comes from outside politics who isn’t shackled to the “inside game.” Someone like, dare I say, you know who. And yes we need to build systems that ensure we hold power. We need our own project 2025.

What about practical solution or actions. You clearly identified the problem, but didn't propose any real world solutions except in very general terms. We've had enough of that. Time to propose actions that can make a difference. Raise money from wealthy Independents and Democrats like Buffet to make a difference.
