Where does this notion come from? From what I could see, this progressive nonsense went nowhere with voters. Certainly the math is in the Democrats favor the next time around. But, if they adopt the strategy laid out here, they are likely to be disappointed. They are advocating rolling out the loons that lost on Tuesday. If that's their plan, bring it on, even with the usual leftie suspects that show up in Presidential years, a loser is still usually a loser.
In their fantasy world view they think winning tougher gun restrictions in a liberal state like Washington indicates that there’s a sea change on the horizon... no you won on an liberal issue in a liberal state. They also fail to grasp that medical marijuana isn’t necessarily a “liberal” issue as there are many in the middle, and many on the right who are fairly ambivalent about it.
Also they fail to grasp the basic concept of the differences between federal and state laws. Voters in a state may approve a $.50 increase in the state’s minimum wage (usually through a mechanism like raising sales tax on tobacco, or some other means), but that doesn’t mean they approve raising the minimum wage to $15.00 an hour nationwide. Most average Americans grasp Economics 101 on some level, but unfortunately when you live in Fantasyland, notions such as business costs and profits are a little beyond their infantile minds.
