So now they're trying to convince everyone winning is a bad thing?

Everything is Bad News for Democrats!

Even winning elections:

Democrats, who are within reach of the 60 votes needed to break a filibuster in the Senate, would also face high expectations, especially from the party’s more liberal quarters, that could be difficult to meet even with enhanced numbers in the Senate as well as the House. And they would be at risk of overreaching, a tendency that has deeply damaged both parties in similar situations in the past.

Obviously, the more seats a given party wins, the more it has to lose the next time around. In that sense, yes, victory leads to “risk.” But nothing lasts forever — certainly not grasp on political power. The real risk is the risk of not seizing the opportunity to accomplish useful things.


This is simpley BS coming from the NYT after years of media complicity with Bush and the GOP.

1. It's upside down world. Winning is bad. Advocating for a fair and just economic system is bad.
America has been flipped on its head.

4. last time the dems over reached was when FDR tried to pack the court
dems pass welfare reform and NAFTA and choose moderates for the court

the GOP starts wars based on lies, pick radical judges like Scalia and Thomas and Alito and complete bankrupt the country.

And BOTH PARTIES OVER REACH?????

Give me a break.
