The AP Takes a Sober Look at the Democrats

.....Werner quotes a range of Democratic reaction to the special election losses, but I think the most sensible comment comes from Congressman Seth Moulton:

The outcome better be a wake-up call for Democrats business as usual isn t working, Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., said over Twitter. Time to stop rehashing 2016 and talk about the future.

I think that is right. The Democrats need to move on from their 2016 defeats. So far, running campaigns on the political equivalent of road rage isn t working....

....For my part, I hope the Democrats heed the counsel of Jim Dean of Democracy For America, who says Ossoff and the others lost because they failed to [run] on a bold progressive vision. In 2018, it would be great to see 435 Democratic House candidates who are all bolder and more progressive than Jon Ossoff.
