11. It's not about talking down the party. It about squarely looking

at the leadership we have and say it's not working. We can't change and make things better if we bury our heads in the sand. It's like banging one's head against the wall and expecting a different result. By not calling out what's not working all of us suffer. We lose elections and people who don't serve our best interest get elected. If we are to win we need the best team possible. Right now we do not have the best team. We're not even close to best. One more thing, we are not keeping this country afloat by not opposing bad policies and bill. By succumbing and supporting the republicans' toxic bills our leadership fails us.
