I didn't rage or call voters fools in that post, I just said what happened. Voters picked trump. They didn't listen or buy into what the Dem candidates offered. They're not going to listen to them now.
Yes, we need allies, but more than that we need leaders. Calling for the ex-presidents and ex-candidates to be that for us didn't work and is not going to work. We need new leaders to speak out, guide, define an agenda, inspire people to turn out, to build a movement. I don't know who they might be, but without them it's gonna be hard. If you remember Occupy Wall Street, it had a lot of momentum but without defined goals and coherent leadership so it fizzled out. What I'm saying is we aren't going to get that from the old guard in the headline. They can support it but they can't be it.
