13. BS! You are engaged in selective hearing. You need to actually read and see EVERYTHING!

For god sake, READ EVERYTHING and HEAR EVERYTHING, not just what you want to see and hear. Your selective seeing and hearing is astonishing.

I have bashed the living SHIT out of the Republican Party time and time and time again in this OP, my responses, and TONS of others. If you have ANY question of my party loyalty you are refusing to see and hear.

Next, I have said over and over and over again that I, for DECADES, have been a loyal party activist and I will tell you that I have donated countless dollars and and amounts of time and shoe leather working to elect Democrats. Don't even think about questioning my party loyalty just because I ALSO offer healthy and badly needed critiques in simple clear language that is also good and blunt. I don't beat around the bla bla bla bush. I tell it how it is and it's about damn time people did.

Next, do you even care that the party has been SMASHED to pieces since 2008? Loss of every level of government? Loss of every branch of the national government? It didn't just happen by accident. It happened because the party has done a SHITTY job campaigning. PERIOD! We need to fix it and make sure we win big in 2018.

Bashing Trump and the GOP needs to happen and I am right at it. BUT, we also need a better message and a much better affirmative campaign too. And we need to be strong and speak with guts and clarity.

If you want to be WEAK and NON-REFLECTIVE and put your head in the sand of DENIAL then go ahead. But we must confront our mistakes and weaknesses, fix them, and take the nation back. This party has been too god damned WEAK and UNCLEAR and INEFFECTIVE in its attitude and in its messaging. It needs to be STRONG and CLEAR again. And we can do it. We just need to look to FDR, JFK, and Bill Clinton, and Maxine Waters, and Elizabeth Warren, AND to Barack Obama in his two campaigns, especially 2012 when he and his team pounded the crap out of Romney with a strong clear working class message. Case closed.
