    The frustrating factor is that people seem intent on focusing on DNC performance like they’re a sports team, like the consequences are purely intellectual. At the end of the day, the seat is filled, and the people feel the consequences much more than DNC leadership ever will.

    Yes, the DNC needs to reevaluate their strategy. But leftists on the Internet debating that strategy does not contribute to that goal. The right has a unified front, so long as the left insists on splintering, they’ll always lose to the unified right.

    There doesn’t need to be a solution/compromise. The world is not a fair place with the perfect answer just waiting to be discovered. If there’s a solution, it will require serious coordinated effort. Blue-no-matter-who is a strategy to buy time while that effort is coordinated. The left needs its Heritage Foundation, which by its very leftist nature is going to have to be funded and coordinated through a massive grassroots movement; we’re not doing to attract any corporate donors.

    So the solution is hard work, and a willingness to hold one’s nose and support imperfect incremental improvement. Based on the evidence, we may be waiting quite a while.
