This is exactly why I don't get people who complain about Democrats spending more time campaigning to rural and white voters. Or Hagrid saying "It's not all just about winning elections." It kind of is. All those good ideas don't amount to s**t if you're not selling them to everyone, everywhere. Our good intentions to help the lives of the working class and communities of color doesn't mean anything if we can't get elected to implement them.
I'd rather have 10 more Joe Manchins than a Republican Senate. If you're willing to write-off severe election losses in favor of ideological purity, perhaps you're the one speaking from the privileged position.
You don't even have to have Joe Manchins. Hell, you can run Bernie Sanders types in some of these places if you want and they'll still have a chance
if they at least don't outright write off half of the country.Well his legacy is in shambles now so it's understandable he's upset. But he still appointed too many Republicans to national security and police positions. Nor did Mr. TPP ever do anything about the undercurrent of popular rage that built up over eight years. I wouldn't say he's blameless.
I don't know about that. Obama isn't particularly loved among Trump's core primary base but on the whole most people generally seem to be kinda meh on him. This was entirely about Hillary Clinton. I'm glad to see he's taking her to task now.
