MSNBC Reveals That The Democrats Are Ignoring Their Base (Again)
H/T: the Humanist Report
Here's my question: why is it that whenever either the Democrats or the Republicans lose, the solution is to become more conservative. Republicans usually says something along the lines of, "Candidate X did not campaign on our party's conservative values" while Democrats will say something like, "We need to avoid running to the left."
Well, you have pro-corporate rich guys threatening to cut Democrats off if they dare to do anything progressives. Progressives are being purged from the ballot and from positions of influence and power. Hillary Clinton touted the fact that Henry Kissinger supporter her in the general election.These actions haven't endured the Democrats to their base and doubling down will most likely end up losing support.
(Oh, and raising a ton of money should not be seen as a sign of political success when you can't win elections).
