I would like to dedicate this thread, presumptuously, to reality. By that I mean that I'm interesting in getting some feedback on where everyone believes we are at right now as a party and as a country. What is the current situation?
--Where is the party at? Is it strong? Is it weak? Is it positioned well for the coming years? Or does it need to be better positioned?
--What about the party's moral positioning? Are we ethically and philosophically where we need to be?
--How about the country? How bad has it gotten? Could we have done something more to stop it from getting here? Is there anything else we could be doing?
