Why? (this is a repost)
1. The party leadership was and is, living under some rock. I''m all over this.

A grassroots revolution is needed for the party to win.
2. Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda are for losers. They don't help worth shit, unless they're used to learn enduring lessons.
3. And by the way, EVERYTHING CHANGES except human nature (which doesn't but could stand a tune-up).
So, what you read (or write) has about zero applicability to TODAY. Because:
The people are different.
The time is different.
The places are different, and
The circumstances are different.
There is no elder statesperson running that I know of.
We'd be fighting the previous war to think so.
And so on ad infinitum.
4. If you or anyone else made a misjudgment in the past. JUST FUCKING OWN IT, and don't let it drag on.
If you let a matter slide instead of making a bold move IN PERSON, too bad. That makes YOU the weak link, and why advertise it?
Give me a report on the present, because today is the culmination of everything in the past, enduring lessons, and a prescription and action plan.
