    Hmmm… So you’re telling me the president that followed the “let’s cater to the conservatives to woo them over” turned out to be devastating to the Democratic party…

    Let’s see what the Democrats are doing now as they obviously learned that lesson…

    …wait… They learned that lesson right?

      Exactly, and brilliant. If dems would have voted for bush Trump wouldn’t have happened.

      So very smart!

        I’m not sure how you got that out of my comment.

        If Dems didn’t move to the right under Clinton we’d have had a better shot at avoiding this. They still have this obsession with catering to “moderate conservatives” as opposed to the left wing of their support group.

        Buddy we get it, you’re an unhinged weirdo. How many comments do you need to prove it?

      This book explains what happened and why it’s still happening pretty well. They’ve basically created a social bubble that includes rich people and politicians, and excludes everyone else. Now, they’re in too deep to admit they were wrong, and fascists are taking advantage of that.

        No, no, this is too advanced a read. To understand this perspective one must vote R and read this book to understand your book first.

          READING IS FOR DUM-DUM LEFTIE COMMIE TANKIES WHO ARE ALL SECRETLY MAGA!

          ONLY BY BLINDLY FOLLOWING THE CENTER-RIGHT POLITICIANS AND THE BILLIONAIRES THAT OWN THEM CAN WE TRULY SAVE DEMOCRACY FROM THE FASCISTS!

          I really wish I believed that you were a bot or a paid shill. The fact that there’s real people out there who are like this is really depressing.

            Reading is fine, but you sure as shit should vote republican so that the progressives can win.

            We must defeat blue maga. They are the ones who make everyone’s lives miserable. Clinton is Fidel Castro in flip flops and he only supports billionaires as evidenced by 94% of his supporters hating Bernie and not wanting to appoint him president.

        They weren’t wrong. They accomplished exactly what they intended to accomplish.
