2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Kos does the 2016 Post-Mortem exactly wrong. [View all]Crunchy Frog
(27,274 posts)My reaction also depends on what Markos's actual role is in the Democratic Party. Is he officially a part of the Democratic Party, or does he officially speak for it in any way, or is he simply a prominent private blogger whose views and interests largely coincide with those of the party?
Obviously, if he was speaking on behalf of the party, in any capacity, then it was absolutely wrong. If he's simply a private blogger venting his post election feelings, then I don't have a problem with it, so long as both he and the party make it clear that he's not speaking on their behalf.
I share many of his thoughts and feelings on this. These are people who have repeatedly shat their own nests, and have allowed their hate and bigotry to override thei own interests. I would not say that if I held any sort of position in the Democratic Party, but I don't, and I'm only representing my own personal opinion.
I wish those people nothing but the best. Above all, I wish them sufficient enlightenment to begin voting their interests over their hate.
(Sorry if this is a little meandering and long winded, but I'm sick today, and kind of out of it).
