2016 Postmortem

Dem leadership has not talked enough or worked to fix the broken voting system. When Kris Kobach's Crosscheck program is used so successfully in so many states to disenfranchise dem voters, this is a problem. Did we hear any dem leaders talking about this? The corporate media gave trumpery inordinate face time and ignored Bernie and Hillary and every other dem candidate. Have we heard dem leaders talking about the inherent bias of the corporate media? Have we heard any dem leaders telling their constituents and all the rest of us that we need to fight for net neutrality? Have we heard any leaders suggest that we need to build a media operation on the progressive side? One that might actually cover real news and issues instead of the celebrity du jour? This could really only happen through the internet and f net neutrality goes away, kiss streaming goodbye. I am sure I won't be able to afford it when comcast and AT&T get done jacking up service rates.

The problems that are wrong, that give us such disadvantages are all constructs of a billionaire network that began building these infrastructures in the 1970s. Have we hear any dem leaders (other than Hillary who took so much shit for calling it the vast right wing conspiracy that it was/is) talk about this at all? Make suggestions for for building our own progressive infrastructure to counter what is there?

These are the things we should be talking about not beating people up over the "wrong" candidate or the "wrong' message. We need to start working together build a solid base that can not be corrupted by ..............................oh, I can't stop myself....the forces of evil.
