Its all fake right? These people whining about berniebspending too much time shining a light on income inequality are just deranged morons and people propagating this poo poo for a paycheck right? Normal people arent going "hmm yeah starvation wages and grinding your workers into bone dust is bad but how often is bernie shrieking about Russia? Not enough if you ask me."?

The people spreading the most division today are those who try to bring every single conversation back to Russia, making them the most obvious candidates to be Russian propagandists themselves

ten years ago, West Virginia had a Dem governor, two Dem senators, two of its three House seats were held by Dems, and the Dems had supermajorities in both houses of the WV state legislature

Yeah and they all flipped because Democrats don't offer any reason to vote for them.

With West Virginia, we say "they all flipped" and not "they stayed home," the operative theory being that the West Virginia voters who had been voting for Democrats wanted real conservatives which is why they eventually lost patience with the half-assed conservative Democrats. Which isn't really an argument that the Democrats can win West Virginia by running to the left. Maybe you pull 350k instead of 200k by bringing out disaffected non-voters, but Republicans are still getting 400k votes.

That said, Democrats are running dead as is so no harm in trying

I don't know how significant that's going to be. The state party establishment, and so far as it leaned on the election, was in favor of either Baker or Madaleno, and Jealous won handily nevertheless, so I don't know how much of an effect this will actually have

I'm glad that Hillary is running, and in particular that Trump is running, because now we're finally gonna complete the reshaping of the party coalitions that might have otherwise dragged on for another couple cycles until Republicans nominated some other protectionist-populist who finally pulled the white, working-class vote away from Democrats for good. That was always gonna happen sometime, we've just had it happen faster than expected.

If this election were Mitt Romney vs. Joe Biden (or pick your favorite "generic" candidates), I think we'd be seeing results very similar to what we are seeing now. It's a valid point that Hillary is less able to capitalize on Trump's failings than a more talented campaigner like Obama could have, and I think that there's candidates who would be doing better in the horse-race than Hillary is now, but I'm hoping that the end-result of this is actually a long-term positive for Democrats and liberals, in that it helps us finally put the Dixiecrat firmly in the past and allows us to move forward without that anchor weighing down the party.

agreed, only hillary losing to trump unleashed the appetite for socialism we see today
