We would not be where we are today if Democrats did not have a nearly 75 year history of being defeated by the long term and highly successful right wing plan. Read “Democracy in Chains” to understand how intentional and long running this right wing effort has been. That is not to say Dems have had no successes at all, but rather in the big picture over the long haul, we are where we are today because Democratic leaders have not successfully countered the well organized and well funded right wing effort.

I appreciate the attempt to rally the troops but I would prefer honesty.
