Just a rant post election and all started off as a response to Digby and his call for more simple razzle dazzle...
Great post and thanks it help the loneliness. One point on the production thing after reading the other comments. What if its not just the actor but also the production team...I mean we haven't been working the farm system of our progressives quite as much as the other side does. We hope for break out stars and we need to manufacture them. The DNC was a good start, not great but good.
The dems are growing to being the Yankees, lots of talent and potential but no farm team to keep the growth going. I think the fact that we believed and were able to make 49 percent of the country believe bodes well for us. This movement started about two years ago and the outlines of a farm team are gathering (blogs included)...so hopefully in the next 10 years we'll recontrol the country, but sadly we must also stop trying to appease the right. Our principles say we allow the ideas and compromise with others but as the right was forged through the laughter of there crazy ideas... the crazy ideas are about to consume us. So remember this time, this loss and when we regain our power our voice should not relent and give them one chance to breath or walk or bargain. The will not give us the same chance just you watch.
