Democrats need to prepare for an ongoing fight against Republicans at all levels of government, not just the White House, their newly appointed deputy national chairman said on Saturday. “We can’t just say it’s all about Trump,” Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., said at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s annual meeting.

Ellison, who lost his bid for chairman of the Democratic National Committee to former Labor Secretary Tom Perez, said the party had lost focus on state legislatures and governorships. Democrats, he said, need a cohesive national message that can inspire ordinary Americans. “We’ve got to have a higher vision than just winning an election,” he said. “When we set our sights as, really, agents and champions for the American people, people start feeling the flow.”

New Hampshire Republicans, meanwhile, criticized Ellison as “out of touch” with a “dangerous worldview.” …

That’d take total abandonment of Marx in favor of the Founding Fathers. And that’d take protecting the rights of Christians, oh noes.

Democrats don’t talk about reaching across the aisle or compromise. The talk about destroying their opposition. The GOP talks about surrendering when they have the upper hand. At first it seems to make little sense. Then you realize that they really agree with the democrats on everything but they lie to get into office. If they can find an excuse to enact liberal legislation, they will do it. Dems, on the other hand, will take advantage of this always BUT would rather hold power themselves. Once they have it, they may talk about reaching across the aisle again, but only to provide air cover to republicans. They will not change one iota of anything to accommodate them. And the GOP won’t ask them to.

Well, he’s a Muzzie. What would anyone expect him to say. He’d prefer America collapses before ObamaCare does.

Someone should make a commercial that first shows a statement of something good, then the democrats saying must fight at all levels

Trump: we need to protect our veterans and rebuild the VA
Democrats: we must fight republicans at all levels

Trump: last month we increased by manufacturing jobs by 3 million
Democrats: we must fight republicans at all levels

And so on, maybe like 10 or 12 items

Say what you like about these a-holes, but at least they have determination. If the situation were reversed our guys would be talking about reaching across the aisle, giving the president deference in her cabinet choices etc

Who are “our guys”?

The GOP liberals are merely playing Goldstein to the Democrats’ Big Brother. They’re on the same side.

“He said to fight em like they’re Jews!”

True muslim, Ellison is. Actually, to my way of thinking, since he is such a devote muslim and thinks it’s the best thing since sliced bread, he should go live in some 3rd world muslim S_ _t hole for the rest of his life. I’m just sick and tired of all the b_ _ching and whining from these nuts when they don’t get their way.
