Republicans absolutely LOVE that Joe Kennedy III gave the official Democrat rebuttal last night. It sums up what that broken party has come to represent these days.
Kennedy has officially branded the Democrat Party as the Anti-American party.

Shoes on the other foot now huh! I remember Republicans saying the same thing about Obama supporters for the last 8 years! They are politicians - their interest is in their own pocketbook and not their electorate and even when you get a naïve newbie who does want to do right by the people - they either succumb to the political pressure from their party or they don't stand a chance on winning another term.
I voted for Trump in the hope that both parties would see they better get back to basics and do what's right for the American people who elected them.
Unless the Democrat is so conservative that he/she doesn't even resemble a Democrat, they're always going to **** on any Democrat who gains any sort of prominence.
Notice all the CD posters who say "Democrats should run someone like Jim Webb". It's never an honest recommendation. They're right wingers who essentially want a Democrat to run that's least offensive to their values, but for whom they have no intention of ever really considering for voting.
People would prefer to see the Democrats run someone who is more moderate than far-left? Shocking.
Moderates might. How about that blue wall. Would Bill Clinton when he was president not resemble a democrat now? If it is just about identity politics there will always be division.
I'm a little confused by the phrasing of your comment. Moderates might what? And I'm not sure what you're "blue wall" comment is referring to. Can you explain?

I don't find the CD right-winger definition of "moderate" and "far left" to have any sort of bearing on reality.

I don't have any personal issue with Kennedy. In fact, I know little about him other than that he is a Kennedy. He did seem passionate about his speech, and if the speech were actually a rebuttal it may have gone over better. The supposed "rebuttal" was meandering, long-winded, and divisive.
My issue is that the DNC chose quite possibly the whitest rich guy in politics to give the rebuttal speech after years of talking about how evil rich white men are. Even a diehard Democrat has to be wondering what they were thinking on that one.
Why? Those are the Dems' bogeymen. For YEARS, Dems have carefully cultivated a voter base who hates both #WhiteMalePrivilege and #InheritedWealth. So then they trot out Joe Kennedy III, who is the epitome of both, as the Dem Party's official spokesman? That's nothing but jaw-dropping self-sabotage.
Is that what FOX and Breitbart tells you?
What is it with people and their binary thinking?
Enlarging the tent to include people of color and women does not mean that white men are being rejected.
Fact: Democratic voters vote for white guys every single time there is an election.

Every.single.time.
Democratic voters did not, by and large, vote for a white "guy" in 2016.

Ya, we need another Joe the Plumber type to get up and make a televised speech that supposedly represents the direction of the entire DNC. What I don't understand is why Trump supporters insist on revising Democratic Party history by saying its been talking about "how evil rich white men are." I'm about as tuned into the media and party literature as anyone but I've never got that memo. It seems to have only gone out to friends of FOX, Breitbart and on those on Trump's Re-election mailing list.

In your eyes, what does that prove? I---for one---pick out my wardrobe by color, not my presidents.
