You hear this point from a lot of people who aren’t done losing yet.

Strong public option was in the party plank in 2016.
Bipartisanship is dead, and it’s not coming back.
Murdered by the left saying “we accept you and your beliefs unless they’re different”.
Most people that voted Republican are tired of the handouts that they’re not even eligible to receive, but still have to pay for.
Some progressives want a single payer health system.
The Dems sold out working class people ~30 years ago because they arrogantly assumed they had nowhere else to go. Doing the same to queer folks—or black people, or women—is not a winning (let alone good) strategy in my mind
get yourselves a white guy.
Strange, voters have had chances to vote for single payer in states, even blue/purple states, and said no...
With all due respect, this is the problem of the Democratic party... I promise you if you asked 100 people what those 5 pillars should be, you’d likely get 99 different answers. The same blanket of “we accept everyone as they are” mentality that is a strength of the party also is a weakness, in that many small…
I’m not too worried about a midterm election against a guy with 35 percent approval.
According to a Pew Research poll about a month ago, the number of Single-payer supporters is rising, but still at only 33%. No one is building a platform around something that has 33% support.
lol Obama didn’t attack those countries you dolt.
Obama did not use “American military force to overthrow a regime and then did absolutely zero follow-through.” He partnered with an international coalition after the UNSC approved Res 1973 FFS.
Congress has a 20% approval rating and yet GOP officials continue to be elected. The Democrats have 6 months to figure out what has been going wrong (although they should have been figuring this out much earlier) and they still have nothing? That should worry you deeply.
Republicans had a bunch of messages, including “lower taxes”, “lower insurance premiums”, “deport illegal aliens”, and “pro-blue collar jobs”. Not nessisarily saying they followed up on all of them once they became the majority party, but don’t say they had no message at all.
If Democrats want to actually get some of the things they want instead of nothing, they’re going to have to learn how to compromise within their own ranks. But when you’re too busy eating your own, that’s hard to do.
The fact that it has to be the Democrats to deliver it. Our party can’t find it’s own ass with both hands and a map. We’re going to LOSE seats in 2018, mark my words.
