Velshi: History has taught us that defeat paves the way for triumph - Velshi - MSNBC

To be politically engaged is to put it all on the line, knowing full well that the outcome – at least the immediate outcome – might not be the one you worked so hard for. But it does not mean the end of the fight. History is steeped in examples of people who fought through the darkness, people who knew that defeat paves the way for triumph. The fact that your side did not win this time is not a loss. It is simply a sign that your work is not yet done. - Aired on 11/09/2024.

3. I appreciate Velshi's comments.

Poland comes to mind. A drastic example for sure. But they did finally “win” WWII.

4. Both of my maternal grandparents left Russian occupied Poland to come here when they were in their teens

They came through Ellis Island. My mother put their names on the wall there.
