(3,515 posts)technology and especially knowledge of ourselves as human beings and the immense capacity we have to live together in peace in the future if we focus on solving problems together.
We need to be the Party that encourages the creativity of the individual but also a focus on the future and the wonderful possibilities of the future.
We need to ridicule the Republican motto of Make America Great Again, not directly but by utterly focusing on the greatness of American that lies ahead. Obama did that with his statement about moving forward.
No more focus on the 2016 election. Let's focus on the future that American has and our inherent promise to the American people to insure that America's future is productive, good, harmonious and healthy.
Instead of talking about gun legislation, let's talk about Americans learning to live in harmony and peace with each other at home, in the workplace and in society in general. When we focus on that, move closer to that ideal, then owning or not owning guns will be less of a problem.
Turn each issue into a positive one about the future.
Republicans cannot do that because they are conservatives and are offended by the idea that in addition to being strong individuals, we must have a strong society. In addition to being creative individuals, we need to work together to be a creative society. We need to show the absurdity of this crazy Ayn Rand philosophy. Societies actually thrive when there is a balance between individualism and social unity. That's what being a Democrat is about.
We will revive ourselves from the negativity of thinking about the 2016 loss by focusing on the future and how we can win in 2018 and 2020. Just keep thinking about what we have to offer the nation in coming elections.
We have the answers for our country. We are the future of our country. So we should be very positive going into the coming elections.
