They keep doing what they have been doing that pushed the people they needed badly ways at a rapid pace. They abused their power, to bully and silence any opposition to their though process. That don't work.
When I grew up, that got your ass kicked badly, by the littlest guy in the class, you though you could intimidate.
I have said on here several times that the Democratic party has ignored a large portion of what was its historic base, working class people. If you had ever read those posts, instead of merely attacking me for not liking Trump, you would know that. You would also know that I have called out at least one so-called liberal on this forum for being an elitist snob.

I originally supported Bernie Sanders, because I think he does have respect for working people. If Joe Biden had chosen to run, I would have positively *skipped* to the voting booth, for the same reason. As it turned out, we were given a choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. I chose Clinton, not because I think she is wonderful, but because I think not only has Trump played on this country's darkest fears, but because I think he has a history of cheating and lying and refusing to pay contractors who worked for him, and I think he has played his base for a bunch of dupes.

Now that we have that out of the way, would you please explain to me what appeal Ayn Rand could possibly hold for a Christian? I eagerly await your reply.

And Democrats don't want the fleas they might bring back. You keep 'em (the fleas AND the former Democrats) over there with y'all. We don't want 'em back. I don't care how many elections we lose.

Is that why Democrats control congress, the presidency and 32 state legislature in just 6 short years.

You guys pulled the masks off and opened the entire catalogue of crazy on the American public.

Is winning at all costs worth losing the moral high ground?
I dunno, ask the party whose long-term election plan is based mostly on racial/ethnic replacement.

They tossed them overboard for Wall St-which loves trade deals to boost corp profits and their bonuses.

They also fell in love with elitists who told them throwing them overboard was the right thing to do. Dems and Elistists are snobs who hate non-elites. American understands that. It told you in November

There is no turning back on that. Too late to tell "those clinging to guns and religion (BO quote) or " Deplorables" (HRC) anything which would or should win them back.

Now explain to me a logical path for your party to 270 w/o the Rust Belt, especially as each census shifts 6-12 EC votes Blue to Red.

They thought they could win the voters by giving the working man a fish, so he would not have to work. They ran out of fish and started to starve and came for the fish I caught. You don't get it. You have the victim mentality.

But Wall Street was going to collapse when Donald was elected. Remember that meme?
Wall Street Hated Trump.

I'm not sure you read everything I wrote. If you had, you would not accuse me, directly or otherwise, of being an elitist.

Catgirl: You still have not answered mine. What is Democrats path to 270 w/o Rust Belt, w/o those (your candidate's term) clinging to guns and religion per the Democrat that was their last POTUS?

Not you, but your party is elitist. You aren't on the ballot.
