(22,011 posts)First. History is to learn from. Not the usual perpetuation of grudges. I clearly see a weak party core who had to resort to gossip in the media instead of being face to face with Joe in earnest discussion.
Lesson not learned. In that sense, being independent is a statement that the party needs a revolution within. Progressives are in the lead with the people. Indivisible and NoKings ARE the fighting force.

A grassroots revolution is needed for the party to win.
2. Some things just have to be said. Perhaps in a memoir. The behind the back treatment I mentioned above is weak and cowardly. We all knew about the aged liar and pervert. This was not put forth.
I can't grasp a Black, LGBTQ woman's felings but I respect them. She was hurt like hell. People have a need and a right to express themselves, though this may not help. Why?
To me, there are lessons to be learned. And they aren't.
I personally suspected some foul play against Joe in that debate, Putin style, but nearly got banned for saying so. People don't go blank and recover quickly except for a minor stroke, of which Joe has no known history. Spy novels are based partly or entirely on fact. Skulduggery never rests nor ceases, but that's entirely speculation, and if so, top secret.
Where is the party now? There is no permanent presence between elections to drive key points. The opposition does have a concerted 24 by 7 by 365 war, hate and lie machine that goes mostly unchallenged.
