Let the unilateral practice of "Post Partisan" politics (i.e. prostrating yourself in hopes of gaining a deminimis of cooperation) die in with the passage of the current administration. People are confused when Democrats don't commit themselves to democratic objectives and fight for them. THis had a definite impact on the last presidential election.

With the arrival of 2017, let Democrats act and speak like Democrats.
