"Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve." - George Bernard Shaw
And Steve Gilliard joins the sidebar with this entry. Here's the highlight:
"Josh Marshall has a really good post about the future of the Democratic Party. He said he wondered if people would walk away because we lost. And he was told no, because this is where you build a movement.
You do not build strength in good times. You cannot. It is the hard times when your character shines through. I know some of people here bitching the loudest care the most. And they have to use that passion to remake what they love. Not hide, not walk away.
Because I learned in the most stark way possible that you cannot quit when things do not go your way. And IV tubes and ventiators and a foot long scar on your chest define not going your way far better than an election."
