2016 Postmortem

Don't even try, just give up.

Yes, it will be blocked, but we need our representatives fighting for our principles in government (and loudly!) so that the American people know that we are fighting for them.

And when it is blocked, we need to hang that on the Republican Party. The message needs to be that we are fighting against corruption, and the republicans are enabling it.

And when news stories break about Tiny Hand's corruption, we need to loudly remind people that we tried to make it a punishable offense and were blocked by republicans.

But it won't get through congress so why even bother, right? (Again, )

Sorry for the rant, I'm just sensing a defeatist attitude around here.

We just lost the presidency because rural votes count more than urban votes. And the first woman nominee of a major political party, with the most progressive platform ever, won the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes.

Our ideas and principles are liked by the majority, let's act like it, and let's fight for all of the American people.
