While I appreciate the open discourse about this, and it needed to be done so that some type of consensus could be reached over how we recover... I think it's time for Democrats to stop reliving how pathetic things turned out and reinforcing over and over that we're losers because we try to elect people who don't care/aren't liked and start like....

What did Obama call it? Organizing for Action

I think that one issue is that a type of consensus hasn't been reached, and since the DNC still has to vote for it's chair it's important to discuss these things.

But ultimately, I think you're right.

I think Obama is going to try to emphasize organizing again once he's out of office.

With this post I tried to do HTML and it didn't work, but maybe that's because I had rich text mode on? I'll try that in the future, thank you!

And yeah, I'll do that right now!

I totally agree with this.

I live in a small town and I can't remember any candidate running for any office coming here. I only know them going to bigger/larger cities in my state and neighboring state.

I was disappointed to learn how few visits Clinton made in comparison to Trump.
