There's no sugarcoating it. The November 2014 election results marked a serious setback for Democrats, the anti-ultra right alliance and the broad people's coalition led by labor. The fight for jobs at living wages, workers and immigrant rights, racial and gender equality, for climate justice and peace proceeds under more unfavorable conditions.
The election resulted in a wave of victories for the Republicans and ultra right that may have surpassed 2010. However, while the GOP claims otherwise, it was not a mandate for right-wing policies.
Grassroots efforts by labor and its allies mobilized millions of voters. Tens of thousands of volunteers, including Party members, participated in voter registration, labor walks and canvases, phone banks and get-out-the-vote efforts. The People's World did an outstanding job of analysis and covering the election mobilization. The CPUSA Political Action Committee kept on top of developments and we sent out weekly messages and provided action tools.
For sure there were some bright spots - progressives candidates, including communists, won on many levels, and referendum were passed for a higher minimum wage, sick pay, equal pay, for gun control, decriminalization of marijuana and against fracking. (For a more complete summation of results please read Joelle Fishman's report to the CPUSA National Board.) After licking its wounds, the people's movement is trying to draw the right lessons from the setback while making a concrete estimate of the new political landscape going forward.

The Communist Party knows Obamaism is rejected by the country.
They’re figuring out to lie better.
Is that where we all get to sit on a tropical beach all day sipping from glasses containing small umbrellas?
Who are the Communists who won elections as is claimed in article?
After January when repubicans take over.. THEN the subject will BECOME.....
Are BOTH parties controlled by the same CABAL!???.....
The answer being..... DUH!...
The Obamunists can’t catch a break these days. That means the public is racist!
Commie-lite, the rest of the progrssive liberal progressives.
Great commercial: We’re not communists, we’re progressives. We’re commie-lite.
in a sane world the CPUSA wouldn't be allowed to exist, in a just world, they'd all be hanging from lampposts...
There are multiple Communist outfits. Bob Avakian runs the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us) from the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. I’m guessing Barky knows Bob and the boys and girls at CPUSA very, very well.
The writer must be getting paid by the word.
There may come a time when the world gets sane again.
let us pray...

Pooty-Poot, who pays the bills, has come out against it.
I think those candidates was a Transgendered trisexual triracial furry running for dog catcher in Podunkville and a person of color running for the tenth seat of a 200 seat city council’s advisory board for city sewage...
I love living wages...I mean if a burger taker at Mickey D can get $15/hour than I could charge for being a computer programmer $150/hour? I have degrees in it... a grade school drop out can take my order.
Nah! Climate justice is where we get to give all the commies an igloo in North Dakota in January and force them to live there butt naked.
They're also called "Democrats."
“Notice no mention of homosexuality? Pooty-Poot, who pays the bills, has come out against it.”
Excellent point. It seems that Russia is returning to Christianity.
“Who are the Communists who won elections as is claimed in article?
Barry Baraq Hussein Soetoro Obama, or whoever he is and wherever he’s from, won two elections (depending on who counted the votes), the Commies only got the dates wrong/sarcasm;)
