bird cooch posted:Everything polls better right up until implementation. The Clinton platform was very progressive. Only it was led by a person that up until Bernie joined the primary was very clearly going to run to the right of Obama. See her "Hard Choices" book, her continued defense of her participation in the Honduras coup, her stances on the debates, etc. The only reason she ran a progressive campaign was because Bernie pushed her left, and the main reason actual leftists distrusted her was because she had a long history of centrist triangulation and had been clearly planning to run on a more hawkish platform than Obama.

It's okay to be critical of the Democratic Party while also admitting that any Republican is a million times worse. I check straight Ds except except in races uncontested by Republicans, but the fact that a bunch of Republicans are in charge sure as hell isn't going to keep me from complaining about how bad of a candidate Martha Coakley was to keep handing victories to empty suit Republicans or how much of a turd Debbie Wasserman Schultz is.

The country isn't that far to the left, and without a majority nothing can happen. It's all fine and dandy to want things but demanding them doesn't work. There's no way to say my way or the highway and win races when you're in the minority by a lot. You gotta understand the Republicans or the far-right and the Democrats basically incompass everyone else. Being the big tent sucks because you have to reach a lot of different demographics and you can't just say because this isn't specifically what I wantI give up.

Also continuing to side with the people that say this thread sucks dicks today with all the DNC chatter. Trump wants people to be talking about this poo poo nobody rightly cares about right now in the immediacy of other factors so I really don't know what the gently caress. Somebody should show him this thread to calm his poo poo down so he doesn't do worse than Bush I and literally poo poo on the Japanese Prime Minister's lap at dinner.

Does it not bother anyone that the DNC was so poorly managed that they had to rely on Clinton for money? I get the deal if you're really in dire straits, but what were the democrats doing under Obama that led to this situation?

Someone asked earlier how Bernie keeps throwing POC under the bus: https://twitter.com/_celia_marie_/status/925387555956314112 Yea we must fight for the rights of the underprivileged but also more importantly "ordinary Americans" too. This is dog whistling bullshit. He has consistently ignored us and it's why he lost the primary in the first place.

FlamingLiberal posted:Yes, and pushing candidates from one side of the political spectrum works if it's done by a large enough group of people. Compare the GOP from 2004 to now. Centrism is effectively dead in the party. This is because of the Tea Party groups and others who forced primary challenges on the candidates they didn't like. Ultimately it had an effect. Ultimately it had the result of the Republicans being completely unable to govern even though they control all three branches. Even worse, as a minority party they couldn't even put up a unified front other than stopping legislation because they had to cater to the crazies all the time. Anytime you have a minority of the party holding part of it hostage you're completely incapacitated. Using the tea party as an example is a horrible idea. it's been a Schism in the Republican party and it honestly resulted in who is president right now and the government that we currently have to deal with. Whenever you have to go way out in the wings to get your votes you owe those people. gently caress the fringes we're supposed to be working towards the greater good for the entire country so there are going to be people who are unhappy on the edges. There is no one shoe that fits all feet. There is no one government that's going to make everybody happy.

His kids are, though. He just wants to be accepted and is so, so bad at it.

Obama’s campaign operation, Obama for America, took small-dollar giving to never-before-seen heights and opened up the possibility of a transformation of politics. But he quickly decided to marginalize his group after the 2008 election. He renamed it Organizing for America, but ordered it to do very little organizing, worried that if grassroots activists attacked Blue Dog Democrats, they would bolt from the president and lose in 2010. Then-White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel famously told activists such a strategy was “loving retarded.” (Most lost anyway in 2010, as the tea party wave swept them out.)

For fucks sakes this is not a Democrats Primary thread.  folksAt this point it does no one any loving good to talk about it and plays right into trumps plans to keep Sanders and Clinton voters at each other’s throats and ignoring the god awful poo poo Trump, Devos, Sessions and their ilk are doing. Focus on the asshats who have their knives out looking to cut more out of our slice of the meager pie we have left for the bloated masses at the top Edit: Want to be productive? Have you written your rep today? Have you helped the VA gubenotorial race phone-banking?
