Sanders' ego is massive since he lost a presidential primary campaign by 4 million votes, turned into the cheerleader for the person he said was corrupt and shouldn't be president, and has a cult following him that believes everything that comes out of his mouth.
By doing a "litmus test," he's just saying "I'm the greatest, do as I say or get out." A pure egotistic bully tactic.
Third way Clintonism summed up in one pic:
Hillary. Didn't. Lose. Because. She. Was. "Third Way".
She. Lost. Because. She. Was. Perceived. As. Corrupt.
Joe Biden is "third way" and I'm confident he would've defeated Trump in 2016.
Lol that's not a Presidential election map. Address the point that the Dems have withered away and perished over the oughts and teens.
Oh Golly, I'm so stupid I couldn't even see that wasn't a presidential election map!
It's because the Democratic Party has become too keen on pleasing the elite coasts, not middle America. The solution to that is not propping up a super liberal political party; the solution is big tent politics. That's why the Dems have lost so much ground.
Funnily enough I agree. We need a *populist * party, that actually advocates for everyone. One that runs candidates that vaguely resemble the districts where they're from, and advocates popular policies. Popular policies like soaking the rich and single payer.
