Welcome to the November 7, 2014 Post Game Show for Mojo Friday!
Congratulations to Bob Trammell. Congratulations to all those democratic candidates who won. My deepest thanks to all those democratic candidates who ran, but lost. My thanks to all those who voted.
There's a lot of discussion about what the Democratic party should do. Frankly, I think many of us are cowards. We're certainly foolish.
We're foolish for thinking that any move "to the center" or "to the right of left" will get us anything. Those people aren't going to cooperate with us unless we capitulate. Their voters won't vote for us. Their associates (looking at you, NRA!) won't contribute or support or candidates, no matter how extreme a 2nd Amendment position we could take.
Too many "center" Democrats think that progressivism is bad. Yet, look at how ballot questions did around this country.
We need more of that, more people standing up for the people instead of big business.
It's going to be an interesting two years. However, in 2014 the Republicans can't run on a platform of obstructivism. Or against "that man in our white house." While we're six years away from being able to get back to fair congressional districts, we need to run even more aggressively on platforms for the people, stand up proudly for them ... AND run strongly against the republicans.
Well, that's my 2 cents worth. Down below, in our poll, you can share your opinion!
And now for the fun!
