Nobody expects perfection. We all make mistakes. We must, however, learn from them. The biggest sin is to keep making those same mistakes year after year.

We must change, and change quickly. There is not much time left. And some of those changes cannot possibly happen with the current leadership. There are only a few national Democrats I suspect are really bad people, sold out beyond redemption. I think most are people who really love the country and want our democracy to succeed. But those who have presided over this long decline really must step aside now.
