I was not active enough in this last election and now I am sorry.

I see where you are coming from, you felt a lot of passion.<br /><br />Even so, I feel the party has work to do before before it will be viable for 2020. Four years is a long time in politics and I firmly believe good things are ahead for Democrats.<br /><br />Perhaps we will even figure out where our focus needs to be. Apparently this time it should have been Rust Belt economy for non College whites. Who would have thought it.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-49931101169463108322016-11-18T21:36:38.439-08:002016-11-18T21:36:38.439-08:00This is what I was trying to say, only you said it...This is what I was trying to say, only you said it so much better.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-2171558041179110772016-11-18T20:43:16.644-08:002016-11-18T20:43:16.644-08:00Very interesting post!

I was very passionate about this election, and now I am paying for those intense feelings with emotional pain and despair. It lingers. <br />I think there is passion among Dems, but since we see things as complex, it is much harder to focus that passion.

I heard a comedian the other day say the Republicans are black and white thinkers and Democrats aren't. Republicans will give you a firm opinion of something like say Pro-Life or gay marriages while Democrats will say, "Well, on one hand so-and-so but on the other hand..." showing compassion for those who live in the gray areas. I wouldn't call the obstructionists passionate, I'd call them stubborn. <br /><br />Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.com
