@Brent cv,
But you see , they can do something about losing ! They can muster support , plan policy , lead people , and try to win elections rather than kvetch constantly about losing the last two big ones .
The way to do that is out of their reach , however , if they have no plans or ideas . The Liberals can't get over losing , they dwell on it so much it stalls them in the starting gate every time .
Now is the time for Liberals to rally and win . Many Americans are ready for them to try leading the country again , but may not vote for them if they don't offer anything for the people other than whatever they offered before .
Americans sitting firmly in the middle of the two sides are ignored by Liberals , not enough "progressive" mileage can be gotten out of them , they are too " vanilla" .
If they are for the little guy , why have the little guys never really gotten ahead under the Liberal administrations in the past ? If progressive policies worked , wouldn't the Liberals run out of "little guys "?
