Marginalized Democrats in Wisconsin, win or lose, must start fighting back.

In 2010, Mayor Tom Barrett got around 47 percent of the vote and lost to Scott Walker. What happened since then was a radically conservative agenda that ignore that 47 percent. They didn’t exist. It’s a winner take all Tea Party Republican movement.

Republicans don't seemed to be asking themselves "is that fair." Their tendency to go "authoritarian" on us doesn't worry them. But should 50 percent of the public give everything up, go away, and put their citizenship on hold? Did the tea party come together and go after "Obamacare," or did they wait 4 years?

This line in a CNN analysis of the recall election laid it out:

The deep well of political anger. Wisconsin is a strong example of how people are pretty fed up, even as they go in almost equal numbers in opposite political directions. The economy, social hot-button issues, cultural issues, economic and racial dynamics -- there are many sources of fuel for the feelings that divide Wisconsin. The demographics of the state make these close to 50-50 issues, but it's worth pondering how similar the intensity of emotions are on each side of the divide. That anger won't be relieved after Tuesday.

Whether Walker wins or not, liberals and Democrats had better start reshaping the way they fight for their "firmly" held beliefs, and never again back down. A weeding out of weak Democratic candidates is a must. They’re the ones that vote from time to time with Republicans on issues no real Democrat would, like the Paycheck Fairness Act. Really, some did. 

It's time to change. It's not a radicalization, but a determination to fight.
