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.
Those are less popular than you think.......

Just look at 2010's House races, a lot of the ground lost was either in the south or in strongly Republican states (ie the Dakotas). They didn't lose because they weren't liberal enough, they lost because voters felt that those Democrats were out of touch with their values.
