Well in that case the Dems need to listen to their constituents and stop thinking they know what's best for everyone while ignoring key issues. People are fed up w/ the crap and to their disadvantage, those who usually vote Democrat have a brain to think for themselves for the most, which is a hindrance to the party.
Furthermore, they need to grow a spine when dealing w/ the GOP, at this point, trying to be the "bigger person" is a moot point when being that person cripples your party and the people who support you.
I have said this a million times and I am going to ask it again. How did the Dems not listen to their constituents, and what key issues did they ignore? And how do they need to grow a spine?
With all dude respect, I hear these talking points used so much, but to be honest feel it is greatly exaggerated.
Voting for Jill Stein or Ralph Nader, especially in a swing state, is hardly something I would consider a wide choice
Truth, however again, the Dems told us Hillary was a girl, they didn't really give us a choice did they? And by a spine I'm talking about the being a bigger person crap they keep trying to pull when it comes to the GOP. The way they banded together to fight Bernie is what we as registered Democrats expect them to do against the GOP, not digress thinking that when it's their turn that they GOP will return the favor.
People voting for Stein, Johnson, Harambe, etc was a wake up call to the Democrats, plain and simple. The only negative part about that is that the people who mainly did that won't be affected by this **** that Trump and the GOP are pulling because they're white, and that's why they did it.
When I say "listen to the constituents" their constituents want them to fight back any way they can against what's going on.
Pointing the finger saying "Look what the GOP is doing" isn't really cutting it anymore bruh, because the people they're trying to convince really doesn't care.
Sorry, but the all the DNC did was say vote fro Hillary because she is a woman? With all due respect, that is not true. The proposed policy to address nearly every member of the liberal coalition. You can say they didn't message on economics enough, cool. You can say that Clinton's slogan was bad because it didn't connect, fine. But it is a strawman to say all the Dems did was say "vote for her because she is a woman".
Democrats did not banned together to fight Bernie. They had a clear favorite, the long time high profile Democrat that has done a ton for the party, they showed favoritism (which was wrong) but they didn't ban together to fight Bernie. Biden and Obama endorsing Clinton in fall of 2015 would have done that, nothing close to that happened.
Bernie lost because he didn't give a **** about winning the Southern black vote, stupidity stayed too ignorant on social issues, purity tested everyone that dear not support him and relied to much on that tactic, and play fast and loose with the details on his plans. No one screwed him out of the nomination, because most members of their base didn't want Bernie to be the nominee.
We need to have a honest discussion about the primary. This "Bernie got screwed" stuff is plain and simple not true.
And again, concrete examples. Will the moderate Senators frustrate the hell outta me, these people will have to run for election in red states in 2018, and given the last couple midterms, Blue Dogs have not done well under those circumstances. So while it frustrates me, I can understand where they are coming from.
I'm sorry but these are adults voting. If you're a liberal that is usually inclined to vote Dem and you want to use the "the Dems left me no choice, I had to vote for Stein or a ******* Gorilla to wake them up", then these people enjoy being victims and having minorities martyred than they do fighting for progress.
