OK so according to you no one is to blame its just a thing that happened and dems were powerless to stop or see. Excellent contribution, good talk.

He’s literally every super annoying kid you knew in middle school. 

Civility fetish in the media. Don’t you remember the public wakes held on shows like Colbert because Tucker Carlson’s door got scratched?

Comey can eat a sack of the genitalia he prefers the least. Dems went through a tough phase looking to a bunch of Republicans to save them from Trump. 

What a disgusting, hateful country we live in, my goodness. 

Your job fucking sucks then. 

Because the buck stops with the president! I don’t think he gets all the blame, but he absolutely failed to transform his historic grassroots movement into a democratic legacy after winning two landslide elections. He gets a fairly large amount of the blame, along with party leadership that has been anemic and slow to…

B and C are strategic errors by Dems for not building from the ground up. GOP spent a decade focusing on state level politics in order to build a massive bench and power structure....wtf were the Dems doing? Asleep at the wheel? 

1. I made a whole argument and supplemented it with a link, unlike you champ.

I don’t usually respond to lowly grays but allow me to suggest you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. The party losing 13 governorships and 816 state legislature seats in an 8 year period is a god damn epidemic and the parties failure to stem the bleeding is absolutely, 100% their fault . Even President…

OK, Ill explain it to you the same way I would to a child. Barack Obama was the first black president of the United States. He was better than most modern presidents but during his 8 years in office his party lost 13 governorships and 816 state legislature seats. Thats a lot! This was due to several reasons, including…

Oh my god shut upppppppp

“Ultimately, of course, the failure to keep the grassroots movement going rests with Obama. It was his original, and most costly, political mistake—not only a sin of omission, but a sin of imagination, one that helped decimate the Democratic Party at the state and local level and turn over every branch of the federal…

I mean that he was able to lull people into a false sense of security despite lunging full tilt into “the global war on terror” and spending 8 years in both Iraq and Afghanistan. 

Jesus Christ, Ezra Klein...spare me dude. I am not claiming that the president is responsible for everything or that he can do anything. BUT, if your party loses 13 governorships and 816 state legislature seats during one’s 8 year regime then there is clearly a problem in the party! The President, as the defacto…

“Seriously, Longsnake, wtf do you even care about a woman’s autonomy? *crickets chirping * Seems like you just want to stir shit.”

Obama was the perfect president for Americans. The kind of guy who can make you feel good about murdering dozens of civilians with a helicopter strike. 

Its a fair assessment given Obamas incredible campaign machine that he famously kept for himself instead of using it to energize the democratic party as a whole. Also, as the leader of the party at the time the buck stops with him. 

Sure, as dem president he is the party leader and the buck stops with him. It happened under his presidency. Do you think he was unaware that they were bleeding state legislatures and governorships under his watch?Do you truly think he has no responsibility here? He also had the slickest, best campaign machine in…

Its weird that this site is still hung up on a troll from literally years and years ago. If you are the famed tomatoface then you have done a great job at traumatizing this group of commentators.
