[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any Democrat not named Hillary and wins the dem primary will take down the conman president who is hated by the majority of the country and over 50% swears they won't vote for him. Afterall the man has never had over 45% average approval. And his approval has declined in every single state since jan 2017.

Good luck on that theory.[/quote]

What theory do you have? The party of white identity politics that has won the popular vote just once(by one state) in over 30 years, run by a con man whose favorability is below 40% and lost by 3 million in 2016 really is not the party in pink of health. Since then the conman has driven out even more women, minorities and college educated as can be seen in the 2018 wipe out while dems won by over 9% margin.

Getting hung up on the popular vote costs the Democrats. A surfeit of votes in a few areas doesn't change policy. Broad appeal, where wining happens in many different states and congressional districts, opens the door to real change. This, of course, will mean not just a realignment of the country, but of the Democratic Party. That fact is the real stumbling block.[/quote]

agree

Regarding broad appeal, the Ds need to get it together if they want to find a strong candidate to rival Trump.  It's not about individuals and "identity politics groups."  It's about a strong union standing firm to support a philosophy that's not divisive and uber PC.

I'm not sure the Ds are better off three years later. Factions are dangerous b/c people supposedly on the same side are now fighting.

Say what you will of the Rs, but stagnant waters have proven to be a reliable constant. [/quote]

The Ds have won the 2018 by a big margin (especially in MI,PA,WI) because some of the cult members have figured out the fake PR admin of the conman. He does nothing on the ground except for tax cuts for the rich. He made it worse with tariffs, no return of coal or steel jobs as promised, made Obamacare worse, no solution for Drug ODs in the mid west. Its all smoke and mirrors all the time. You can only fool some (his cult) all the time, all the people some times, but cannot fool all the people all the time.

The Fraud party of trickle down economics ramps up white identity politics by playing the immigration bogeyman drama come election time to win. How long can they continue this charade?

I hope you're right. But I'm not counting any chickens just yet b/c of the in-fighting.  And Tlaib recently caused more of a rift by calling out Ds for using minorities as pawns in this game of diversity.

It's healthy to point out weaknesses, but it becomes unhealthy when we obsess over weaknesses w/o figuring out a civil way to address them.  Obsession over identity politics is destructive.  The more the party fragments, the more difficult it becomes to regroup.
