Politically hurt, profoundly ashamed, and fundamentally bewildered how the Democratic Party could go so stupidly wrong, everything perfectly aligned for healthcare victory with it nowhere in sight and the base in vociferous revolt, that’s how I’ve depressingly been. There are three relevant points to pass on in this utter debacle, all of them written by the master blogger Digby at Hullaballoo1 and so profoundly true it simply is my duty to pass them on.
