1.) I agree with Stoller that we must admit defeat & learn from our mistakes, but admitting defeat starts by embracing our movement not pushing it more toward centrism which is largely what this analysis advocates. Instead we double down on policy but build it outside of party.

15.) Stop promoting MSM. We know the propaganda is the strong arm of the establishment. Progressives must truly support independent media & walk the walk in terms of it. Support independent journalism. Support building co-ops of new media to counteract establishment narratives.

Holding those accountable when they start spinning establishment narratives. Anyone that’s not independent and anti establishment can be bought. Remember that.

6.) This isn’t about “vision”. It’s not about having more elitist platitudes or polite discussion in an age where people are dying due to capitalism. Appealing to centrism doesn’t work. Going through Democrats doesn’t work. Progressives must go beyond to independent sectors.

Appealing to independent, republicans, libertarians, non voters, etc. everything but the small echo chamber contingent that is the centrist neoliberal stack of the Democratic Party. They’re largely irrelevant.

2.) Our ideas were not “unappealing”. Raw data shows most people want Medicare for all, increased wages & free college. Our ideas certainly appealed, but were stopped by corruption not only in the Democratic Party but within the campaign. We won’t win until we see it & handle it.

9.) There’s no reshaping the Democratic Party. There’s only defeating it. We’ve tried this & it’s failed. Enough. Until we have a fair shake at the system we won’t be able to make changes significantly through the electorate. It would take more time than have allotted.

10.) This requires accepting the system is rigged, understanding we can’t restructure what we don’t control. Change historically comes from movements not the Electorate. We can build a mass general strike workers movement demanding fair elections outside of the electorate first.

11.) Once we have a mass workers movement that goes beyond party politics & demands a restructuring of our system we then have a multi-party system that gives a fair shake to all & is actually Democratic. This requires massive collective coalition building not party politics.
