General Discussion

I strongly disagree with your recommendations and I really wish that you would get out into the real world to see how things work. Remaking the party into the image of Sanders has no chance of working in the real world unless you are willing to write off key elements of the Democratic base. Did you see the results of the Virginia primary? The Sanders endorsed candidate was voted down in large part due to the vote of the base of the party including African Americans. Turnout was supposed to help the Sanders endorsed candidate and the turnout was 170% of the 2009 turnout.

I like living in the real world. There is a ton of work to be done in the real world that can only be accomplished by hard work. There is a great deal of anger against Trump and fear about health care out there. My congressman is not doing town halls but various groups are still trying to generate press coverage by making demands. I am working with several groups and have helped one group set up their own state PAC. We are registering voters, recruiting candidates and getting ready for 2018. Right now there are 8 or so candidates running for the Democratic nomination for CD 9 (a district that Clinton carried). There is a trial in July on Texas redistricting and this trial could result in the Democrats picking up 3 to 7 Congressional seats and 10 or more state house seats. It is an exciting time to be on the ground working to change things.

Again, your posts speak for themselves. I am entitled to draw my opinions from these posts and my opinions are based on working on issues in the real world.
