87. I don't know Goth. I suspect a good number of us, I know I have, edit a post because the phrasing

didn't come out right, or because one changes their mind on a point made. I have, and I try to point that out in the edit when I do it.

For me I am going to take it at face value that the OP wants to leave the primary battles behind, and try to have a dialog how we can unite to fight what we will be up against in the next four years.

I am not a fan of the Post Mortem group, and voiced that to Skinner. I believe it opens the door to "refighting the primaries" again, and I think that is pretty counter productive in trying to set up an effective strategy for the next 4 years against trump and the republicans, because the only way we are going to do that is standing together on the issues where we agree, such as healthcare, protecting social security Medicare, the environment, civil rights, women's rights, etc.

We lost the Presidency, and Congress. I think most of us here recognize that the FBI interference, along with the media intentionally distorting what happened, by characterizing it as "the FBI had reopened the email investigation", was instrumental in our lost. When 11 days before the election, Comey sent the letter to the republicans in congress, MSNBC was the first national network to report as "Breaking News that the email investigation had been reopened". That was a blatant LIE. MSNBC then proceeded to parade every right wing politician across their screen to propagate that LIE. After an hour the other networks followed suit with the same distortion.

My personal view is one of the essential strategies that we must adopt, is how we will push back against the media when they present falsehoods, and demand accountability, not only on trump, but the republican party.
