    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

      Trump won because the middle of the electorate largely hates Hillary Clinton.

      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
