This young Democrat sees his party in the political wilderness for decades if the trend in State legislatures and governorships keeps moving to the right.

If we run and get a conservative in the White House, one with coat tails to drive up the numbers in the GOP column (inc. on Capital Hill), we can make Miles Brown and his party sit it out for a very, very long time.

Higher taxes?
Fewer jobs?
More union thuggery?

Yeah, good luck with that.

to impose their agenda with little to no protest.

Is this guy living in some parallel universe where Republicans rule Wisconsin and the protests and "occupy the state house" riots of the past 4 years never happened? Or does he equate Republicans winning every once in awhile with subjugation?

It’s scary how omniscient college seniors believe themselves to be. They don’t pay any real taxes (yet), but they are authorities on how the world should be viewed and handled.

Naive doesn’t even start to express it...

So frequently, we see democrats and liberals saying “we didn’t get our message out!” when the reality is they got their message out perfectly.

The electorate just rejected that message.

Wisconsin is a great example. I was THERE. The left kept saying “you don’t understand how awful Right To Work is” while the hoi polloi answered “yes we do and we like it!”

“The biggest barrier to translating this commonality into a commitment at the polls is failure to cast a narrative that accurately showcases these beliefs.” No little boy, your problem is that Scott Walker forced Democrats to show who they really are and the voters said “No!”

I support his effort! If the Rats were to “purify” themselves there would be no more Rats. At this point they are nothing but corruption, led by The Grandma of all Corruption.

This is so sad, it just makes you want to cry yourself to sleep. The horrors of the people of Wisconsin electing politicians who implement a conservative agenda because that’s what the majority wants has to be a nightmare.

New Title:

Wisconsin Democrats need to take back narrative from Republicans Replace Truth of Republican Narrative With Another False Democrat Narrative - Truth Hurts Them

I know how they can take back the narrative. They could have the police go in the middle of the night, guns drawn, round the conservative’s families’ up, threaten them not to talk to anyone about it, in sight of the whole neighborhood, and count the Republican governor to do nothing about it. Just force the Republicans to shut up by threats of being SWAT-teamed. Boom! The conservative narrative is finished. But nobody would really be able to get away with that.

The heartache and bewilderment is still prevalent in Wisconsin following three election victories for Gov.Scott Walker (the presumptive presidential candidate) in the span of about four years. This is also coupled with majorities in both state legislative houses for Republicans, which allows them to impose their agenda with little to no protest. All of these facts underscore a pretty dire situation for Democrats in this state.

Nice.

“They need to thoroughly determine how their causes positively impact the everyday non-partisan Wisconsinites beyond blanket answers that vaguely reference the one percent and/or the middle class. The most important step in this process is to figure out a way to get citizens to care enough about those impacts to come to the polls.”

That all sounds good and makes a liberal socialist [feel] good, but, then the reality of liberalism and socialism smacks them in the face:

Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Washington D.C., ............

Democrat socialist are finding it hard to run from their failed policies and the consequences of same!

"which allows them to impose their agenda with little to no protest."

This guy is already a proficient and embarrassing liar, so he should be a good Democrat. No protests? How about the massive protests that shut down the state government a few years ago and led to a recall election? What about Chisholm's two-year witch hunt and home invasions? What a jerk this guy is.

I cruised around that college paper's website and found a series of articles related to something called "Hump Day," which is apparently some college-sponsored (or at least tolerated) day on which everyone is supposed to have sex, and the more bizarre the sex is, apparently the better, based on the nature of the articles a saw.

One article prescribed anal sex with harnesses, another advocated sex during menstruation, another talked about penis size, another depicted a nude male (blurred in the key place) showing up at the front door of a house and exposing himself to (apparently) a female acquaintance and her mother.

Keep in mind that this is the context within which young people support gay marriage, i.e., a context in which sex is simultaneously trivialized, cheapened, and exalted in a bizarre, tawdry sort of way. Our nation's campuses have become moral cesspools.

Rebecca Kleefisch’s fourth term as governor — and that’s a future not even some Republicans want to envision.

Um....not really. If they don't want the party to hold the Governorship then they aren't Republicans.

Uh, could it be that the agenda being “imposed” is what the majority of the voters voted for?

“Imposed” = something I personally don’t like.

It's not that the nation's trend is moving to the right, it's that the Dem party has been busy purging anybody who is not extreme Left.

I think the country has been moving left, just not as left as the Dem party.
