      Trump won because the middle of the electorate largely hates Hillary Clinton. Coincidentally, she’s one of the Democrats that would do worse than Biden in a general election against Trump

        Oh, really? Is that why Democrats been blaming progressives and only progressives for her loss ever since?

          The party isn’t going to bad mouth a former First Lady that drives a huge amount of fundraising for them. I don’t like the fact that money is what drives politics but it’s where this country is at. Doesn’t change the fact that Hillary has a very high unfavorability rating, especially in swing states.

          Also, you’re allowed to disagree with me without posing it as a leading question.

            That doesn’t mean they have to blame progressives, but holy fuck do they love doing so.

              Agreed. I think that speaks to how entrenched all this dark money is. I think repealing citizens United and implementing something like single transferable vote instead of first past the post would do a lot to fix American democracy and actually empower people over capital
