We are quick to give up as a party. We expect quick results and when we don't get those results in the manner in which we believe they ought to be delivered, we quickly give up.
If the Republican Party behaved as Democrats, they'd never win, too.
They can lose historic elections in 2006 and 2008, for example, and NEVER hold their heads low. In fact, when they lose, they act as if they've won! They never quit or stop pushing for what they want.
And what's most important is that the Republican Party has witnessed incredible gains at the local and state level because that's where they put the most money into.
We Democrats? We hang our heads in shame, allowing them to kick us when we're down.
A great example is the abortion issue. Republicans know that they'll never overturn Roe v. Wade. Rather than vote their leaders out of office because they're disappointed that Roe hasn't been overturned, they regroup and work at the local level to strip away at reproductive rights.
The Political Left has failed at this. They give up on their leaders way too easily!
I swear, it's like we have some inferiority complex. We just don't know how to keep on playing until we get what we want. We have no patience.
