I fear Democrats are laying the groundwork for future losses by refusing to learn from defeat

[Feeling the Bern]

116. If we go back to 1980, Democrats have lost 11 out of the 19 elections.

2018 looks like a bloodbath for Democrats. Some still think triangulation, being GOP lite, sucking up to corporate America, running Blue Dogs and abandoning the New Deal and the Great Society ideals we have held for decades is a winning strategy.

The results are in. 11 out of the last 19 election cycles. 12 out of 20 if you count the 1978 midterm elections. . .15 out of the last 25 if you go back to 1968.

Democrats are all but shut out of most State Governor's Mansions and State Houses.

When people have a choice between Republican Lite and the Real Republican, they vote for the real Republican. That's the fact.

Until the Democrats realize that, we're dead in the water. Your post is spot on. . .sadly too many here think winning a primary election is more important. And if they lose the general, it was the fault of the primary election.

Until it's principle over party instead of party over principle, we are doomed as a party.
