What I have learned about the election on DU

[BainsBane]

68. You make a number of assumptions

1) DU is not the party. It's a message board.
2) That people don't agree with your particular assessment of the election does not meant they don't want to learn.
3) this election result has been traumatic for many. Grief is a multi-stage process. Given that so many are unable to get past a primary settled months ago, you can hardly expect people to be clear eyed about the recent GE.

Ultimately this site is comprised of voters and volunteers, individuals who understand the GE differently. Assuming otherwise is a mistake.

in 2018 and 2020 we will face a very different political environment. The Democrats will not be an incumbent party, so the challenge will be very different. One thing that is certain is that the 2016 primary battle will have little to no bearing on that future. Those who continue to see the Democratic Party rather than Trump and his White Supremacist cleptocratic administration as the enemy are doing nothing to aid the resistance against the rise of fascism.
