Jimmy Dore said it best.

Democrats would rather lose to a Republican, than win with a Progressive.

They are paid to lose. This is a one party nation until further notice.
Correct: Dems must appeal to the Rust Belt to have any path to 270.

Or someone who didn't vow to get us into a proxy war with Russia in Syria. That's why I could not vote for Hillary.

Let's talk about "Identity politics !

These are the same people who followed TrumpPutin with his "Birther" non-sense after President Obama was elected.
Out right racism & conspiracy theories to this day!



So please don't accuse the Democrats of "kow towing" to Identity politics when the Repuktards are guilty of the same thing!

Who got Usama Bin Laden again ? Ahem.....

PS: I'm not a Dem either

Hopefully the result of the 2016 election will penalize candidates in the end, meaning the more minutes you spent in front of a camera for "entertainment" (Franken, Trump, Oprah, Ventura) the less votes you will likely see.

I worked for a company based in Minneapolis and saw him speak at a quarterly event. He was stiff as hell, no sense of humor and appeared just straight up annoyed. He was a completely different person than the former writer on SNL. Don't know what happened there.

I could see him running but his heyday was when his book came out in the early 2000s. What really rubbed me the wrong way was how he just didn't seem personable at this event where everyone else was excited to have him there. Smart guy though.

Republicans do not have that problem. The Tea Party took over the party from within and now they run everything.
the fascist liberals took over the democratic party
