I made the following comment to this article on the Liberal America website regarding the reply of someone bashing Carl Gibson for his letter to the Democratic Party.
Amazing! Do you all hear yourselves? You sound like your parents. And this reply, by Anonamly, sounded more like "I'm older than you and I have nothing to learn from a younger person." Arrogance and hubris on the part of an old(er) Dem Party who not only distanced themselves from the POTUS, they also failed to reach out to voters like me nor the "Millennials." I never once saw any advertisements on tv, nor heard any on the radio, praising the POTUS for his hard work, extolling the good things happening now (job growth, stock market, millions of folks helped by the ACA, etc), supporting the plans of his, and especially any ads encouraging and urging the Democrats (young and older) to vote for the Democratic candidates.
Carl communicates to the established, and entrenched, elders of the party his, as well as others, disillusionment with the party and how it fails to make its followers care about voting let alone encouraging them to vote.
If the leadership (and you all) cannot handle criticism of the way the Party handled this past election and accept responsibility for the losses in these mid-term elections, the way it communicates to all of the Citizens of the country, and changes itself for the better, then do not expect anyone, let alone me or the Millennials, to vote Democrat in 2016.
Here is Carl's letter:
