So tell me again where we went "wrong".

[Perseus]

103. Glad you asked

1. Not calling, forcefully, republican lies.
The democrats want to be civil and politically correct, and I am not saying they should become as rude and low class as the others, but call out their lies, with a very decent attitude make a big deal out of their lies, create memes that neutralizes their lies. Stop calling a lie an "untruth", or a "false statement", or whatever politically correct adjective you can come up with, "a lie is a lie, as a duck is a duck". And don't stop there, show proof that the person lied, it is so easy, but do not let the lie become a meme that their non-thinking supporters will run with, we have plenty of examples of that.
2. If you know they are going to cheat during elections, why not use part of the budget to have spies and people to discover and unmask their cheating? Why wait until the last minute when you are going to have to fight with corrupt judges for a recount? This passive attitude is what screws democrats. The worst part is that even if the recount proves there was cheating, no one expects the outcome to be changed, which doesn't make sense, if someone cheats during a match on any sport, that person is immediately disqualified, the same should be in politics.
3. If the "Electoral College" does not do the right thing then that should be the nail in the coffin, there should be a fight to eliminate it and do as other democracies do, which is "popular vote winner" wins the presidency.
4. Start talking to the country in plain language, address the masses, make a big deal of the obstruction by the republicans, boast of your accomplishments.
5. Become more united. If there is anything the republicans do very well is that they are very united (some would say they are Lemmings), it is time that democrats start supporting each other more. I understand that being a liberal means that you are going to look at issues objectively and decide, based on your principles, what the best route is, but before a democrat goes out and disagrees with another democrat, talk in private and try to come out with a compromise that will allow that unity to exist.
6. Empower Trump supporters with positive actions, and proof of republican vile policies that affect us all, including them, let them understand why their allegiance should be with their country and not a political party...I know this may be the most difficult task, but we need to bring those supporters to our camp.
7. Improve education, don't allow the republicans to continue the dumbing down of the country. Refuse to support Charter Schools, they are a big scam, work to keep libraries updated with all kinds of literature, for them to provide learning centers for kids, etc.
8. Create incentives for people to start "Bookstores". I am of the belief that bookstores have not disappeared because of "electronic" books and yes, Amazon has something to do with it too, but it is mostly because people stop reading. I remember riding on the subway, and 30-40% of the people were reading a book, now 80% of the people are texting. I am convinced that it has been a concerted effort to eliminate culture because when the masses are dumb, it is very easy to control them, as we have seen from this election.

Anyway, that is it for now.
