No one cries in their beers tonight. The Green Miles is here at the Arlington Democrats "victory" party tonight. I'm sharing that same message with everyone.
If you're pissed tonight, you should be. If you're not pissed yet, read Ben's analysis.
When you're talking to voters, friends, neighbors, whoever, it is absolutely critical that you frame tonight's election not as a loss for Democrats, but as an opportunity to chart a new progressive course for the Democratic Party of Virginia.
Don't let anyone BS you about "oh, hindsight is 20/20, we did the best we could ..." Bull. We stepped off the progressive path and became roadkill.
Do you want more center-right candidates who excite no one? Or do you want to re-take the Democratic Party of Virginia for the public option, clean energy & climate action, and fighting for progressive champions like Tom Perriello?
Think about it tonight. Tomorrow morning, we go back to work.
