Dems and long term mistakes.

[stonedape]

The Democrats positively gift wrapped this election for the GOP.

Couple lessons to learn:

1. Take a stand on some issues.
2. Stop being GOP lite. It's a proven losing strategy.
3. Stop letting the GOP frame the debate.
4. Most of all, stop publicly whimpering, "Oh God, this election is going to be a disaster for us" before the election. That doesn't fire up the base.

5. Stop the circlejerk, the world doesn't want to revolve around you
6. Be liberal and leave honest people alone
7. Just because it's a good idea doesn't mean it should be mandatory
8. Just because it's a bad idea doesn't mean it should be illegal
9. Just because the GOP sucks, doesn't mean you get a pass
