Why would the article have addressed your points above? The article was addressed to Democrats who just don't understand why they're completely out of power at this point.
If you want to have another conversation about your issues above, I'm not going to engage in one as it'll pretty much be addressed in the GOT echo chamber of "liberals good, conservatives evil." Been there done that. Not going to again.
And your response is crystal clear as to why, again, the left in this country is going to be out of power for quite awhile. Rather than address Democrat shortcomings as the author did and how the Democrats might find their way back into winning elections at the federal and state levels, you went on a rant as to the messenger rather than the message itself.
2018 is frankly going to be even worse for the Democrats than 2016 was and this proves it. Best wishes.
Come on man, I read your article, asked a reasonable question and you gave a stupid answer.*note to self.
Don't bother coming in here to have constructive debate when it's quite clear the GOT Labour/Liberal echo chamber will never have such debate

Trump Voter Shocked To Find That Her Meals On Wheels Could Be Cut
“I was under the influence that he was going to help us.”
By Sebastian Murdock
Linda Preast has used a wheelchair since she had a stroke two years ago and now relies on Meals on Wheels, a service that provides food to millions of people with disabilities and the elderly. The 56-year-old Georgia resident never envisioned when she voted for President Donald Trump that he’d propose slashing funding for the programs.
“Are you surprised?” CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller asked Preast at her home in Jones County Saturday.
“Yeah,” Preast said. “Because he was told ― I was under the influence that he was going to help us.”
On Thursday, White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney attacked the service, saying programs like Meals on Wheels “are just not showing any results.”
“We can’t do that anymore,” Mulvaney said. “We can’t spend money on programs just because they sound good. And Meals on Wheels sounds great.”
The statements followed the Trump administration’s recent budget proposal, which would give $54 billion to the U.S. military while decimating funding for federal programs including the Environmental Protection Agency, the State Department and the Education Department.
Jenny Bertolette, vice president of communications for Meals on Wheels America, told The Huffington Post that the program is already struggling to meet the needs of the hungry.
“The scary thing about that is that funding is already not keeping up with pace,” Bertolette said. “There are already demands that we can’t meet. There is already a waitlist crisis... If this budget was enacted, it would obviously just make matters so much worse.”
Bertolette said since Mulvaney’s comments, Meals on Wheels has seen a 500 percent increase in volunteers and a 50 percent increase in online donations.
“What would you say to him to convince him not to cut this program?” Miller asked Preast.
“What if it was your momma?” Preast said.
I'm not debating anything Dave, you just keep missing the mark here.
His POINT was that it's going to continue down this path until the Democrats come up with actual ideas. Your point apparently is just hammer Trump and the R's until the cows come home.
Sadly, that's all the D playbook is right now.
It will not win them any more elections anytime soon as half the country is tired of being called racist.
They'll have to do much much better than that as an election platform.
Carry on with your TDS in here. Misery just loves company.
Irony much.
You still have the delusional belief that the Democrats are going to GAIN seats in 2018 just because the pendulum will swing that way cause "it always does?"
We've deflected nothing. You have however and refuse to see the shortcomings of your own party.
Republicans can and often do wrong. Democrats NEVER do wrong. It's always the fault of others.
Enjoy being the minority party for years because it's been a complete repudiation of progressive politics in this country of the last 30 years.
Bye.
@TX Bill has a point like, the Democrats need more than just Trump bashing if they are ever going to win again
The regressive side of the left had a lot to do with Trump winning in the first place in all honesty
Their ferocity only caused to embolden those who were thinking of voting Trump to go all the way and actually do it, because they were angered with all the name calling and aggression just because they were sick of the status quo and wanted to vote for the anti-establishment candidate
I mean, a lot of people thought that voting for Trump, an old rich white guy, was actually a way for them to "stick it to the man"
That's just madness but is a core reason why he won, and The Democrats needs to wake up to that uncomfortable truth. The regressive elements of their support played a part in their defeat
Before you ask, yes, I have been watching a lot of Dave Rubin recently
Come on man, I read your article, asked a reasonable question and you gave a stupid answer.
Makes no sense though. Waking up to the fact that just to say they are in power they will willingly cut of their noses to spite their faces?
You just can't debate or reason with that kind of philosophy.
FBI Director James B. Comey on Monday morning confirmed that the bureau is investigating Russian attempts to interfere in the 2016 election — including any links or coordination between members of President Trump's campaign and Moscow.
The bombshell revelation puts an end to months of roiling speculation.
Comey declined to provide more details, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.
“I can promise you we will follow the facts wherever they lead,” Comey vowed.
