Those who want to blame Democrats and the party for ANY of their policies this past election are feeding the Republican spin that it is Democratic positions that are to blame for losing. They spin it as too far to the left for the mainstream. The irony is that many here try to claim the Dem party is too far to the right to win elections.

Both of those positions blame Democratic policies and let the REAL culprits off the hook - the GOP spin-machine aka as mainstream media, and the GOP control of the voting machines.

Why do so many here let the media and the Republican election frauds off the hook?

Criticize Dems for not having a GRASP on the voting machine issue and for not having a network of news outlets built up to deliver their message, but, please don't feed the perception that it is Democrats and their social and economic policies that are wrong. GOPers just use that distraction to THEIR benefit and their goal which is to kill the Democratic party outright.

With all the media blaming Democratic policies the politicians will respond to that blame by trying to ajust to a mainstream view that really doesn't exist except in GOP talking points.

We have to keep up the pressure CONSTRUCTIVELY on the Dem party and point to the REAL culprits, or else they'll get away....YET AGAIN.
