    The leftists here are absolutely convinced that the Dems just need to run a left platform and it’ll be a landslide. What actually happens is that every time the Dems rely on the left they lose.

    Next election the Dems will go hard center and likely win.

      Obama says what the fuck are you—oh it’s that guy again. Just do your thing.

      …when was the last time the democratic party ran a legitimately progressive platform?..i’m not talking about vacuous platitudes, i’m talking about articulated commitment backed up by tangible, substantive, follow-through changing the nature of established paradigm?..

        Our only hope is that trump is old and won’t care about stealing the next election. His minions however may.

          I think our hope following this moment is obstructionism. In congress or by blue state governors or otherwise.

          I’ll be around for the next election if one happens, but I would suggest coming up with a plan B.
