I don't see how any other person could have won us a House majority this year, no matter how the Presidential race went, thanks to those factors.
Instead of relying on existing liberals, we should be trying to make new ones. The current Party leadership is not only disinterested in this critical endeavor, it seeks to actively suppress outspoken leftists and writing off independent voters. That's why the Dems have no chance of winning. You are acting like it's just how it goes, but this latest failure in a string of heartbreaking failures has been self-inflicted and the people who are responsible are going to remain in charge.
Quote:So, why change House leadership now?
I'll answer your question with the remainder of your paragraph.
Quote:The key thing for winning back the House is doing well in the 2018 and 2020 state-level races in areas currently controlled by Republicans. Fail that and things will continue as they are regardless of who we choose as House leader, most likely...
Current House (and party) leadership has had eight years to prove, repeatedly, that they are not up to the task of doing well in elections on any level that are either seriously contested or not currently in their control. Why not change House leadership now?
