(36,437 posts)The simple fact is that you can't do it, and your position can't seem to do it either. You snark and snark and snark, but your people can't put together even a few local election victories. As it stands, you have to win elections to actually do anything. That is, anything other than consistently gathering 150 recommendations on DU, which is admirable, I suppose, or at least nice for the ego. For some people.
The sad thing is that I support your positions most of the time. Your strategy sucks, though. Your rhetoric sucks. It is claptrap in the classic sense, garnering a great deal of clapping from people who already agree with you. That's not going to make any difference. Except the 150 or 200 recommendations. If we actually think about that number, it's kind of embarrassing in many, many ways.
