73. DEMOCRATS LOST!!!!!!!!
If you want to argue specific Democratic/liberal policies, then do it, policy by policy, but don't paint our entire liberal philosophy with a broad brush and proclaim it must be killed.

I said dogma. Dogma is never good. It rears it's ugly head in the guise of inflexibility when times have changed. Quite frankly, it seems there is quite a bit of inflexibility out there. I did not say all positions were dogma, I said that there exists dogma, and it needs to be killed.

Myself, I think of liberalism as anti-dogmatic. But it doesn't seem like others do the same.

Whether the Republican leadership is in denial or not is not for me to say. They got elected, we didn't. Perhaps they misrepresented reality deliberately or maybe they are delusional. Probably both. But they won.

Democrats were losers. We LOST. The question is why, and what are we going to do about it. Maybe some expect better results in the future with the same formula.
