[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 124865, member: 33"] We had a similar situation in the UK in the 1980s. The Labour Party (the socialist party) lost the general election in 1979 and spent the next 10 years looking inwards, arguing amongst itself about whether it should turn to the left or to the right. The result was that Margaret Thatcher and her Conservative Party weren't put under sufficient scrutiny and opposition which lead to them winning election after election. As a consequence, Thatcher and her Conservative Party colleagues were allowed to inflict some of the most wicked, discriminatory and damaging policies on poor people, unemployed people, gay people, single mothers and trade unionists, amongst others, that the UK had ever seen in post war times. During this period, Labour became preoccupied with fighting itself instead of fighting the Conservative Party which without doubt prolonged the time the Conservative Party remained in office. There is a time for election post mortems and a time to focus on the here and now. There is a time to look at internal party politics and a time to look out for the most vulnerable people in US society who must be crying out for Trump to be opposed effectively. [/QUOTE]
