    Are you kidding? The DNC circumvented the entire primary process to give us ANOTHER “anointed one” and, again, possibly the worst candidate possible to create the coalition that has always been Democrats’ bread-and-butter. They even had Hillary go down to FL to lecture voters, while Bill went to Michigan to preach to Muslim communities about why the war in Israel is right. It’s a fucking lampoon of strategy.

    Every single DNC “elite” should retire from politics, today. They’re losers, and losers lose. Because they never learn from their mistakes, which is what is required to win.

      They are elite. Not in quotes. The fact that they remain an elite and will remain an elite under Trump shows us that they are not losers and they don’t lose.

      They didn’t lose control over DNC, that’s what they care about, perpetual real power over half the politics in one big country, not temporary and limited power over all of it.

      In this case they have also shown Trump and anybody else that they are a very convenient opposition, that should remain as it is. It’s a win.

      But you’re the guys who flew to the Moon, invented nukes and the Internet. You’ll think of something.

      I’m sorry, since when is circumventing primary process worse than literally trying to steal an election? You want the perfect Democrat to run, while the other side is running a joke.

      Let’s not kid ourselves, the reason Democrats lost was because of economy and voter apathy. Otherwise, we wouldn’t see Democrats lose control of all branches of the government. No matter what strategies they adopted, it wouldn’t have worked.

      She was already a VP and our country still has inflation. People are idiots and blame it on Democrats.

        I mean, it’s likely both. Apathy towards hate is still pretty bad imo, and hate is the Republican party platform. Also just saying, the economy needs some inflation and I think we’re around 3% right now, which economists agree is ideal? Not an expert there tho
