Do Sanders supporters want to rub anyone’s noses in the failure? The top comments on every blog post around here are from Clinton supporters, licking their wounds and trying to listen for their echoes bouncing off the ever-shrinking walls of their tea room. On this blog entry, these supporters’ top comments complain

I don’t even see why this is controversial. Obama did it 2x, at least within the context of what was politically feasible at the time. But Clinton decided to go all-in on identity politics and strike white people from her coalition. Apparently Bill even asked her campaign to focus more on states like WI and they

And I’m saying that you pretending all the voices above criticising Clinton are white men is typical ignoring the voices of women of color. Vintage white feminism.

Oh for Christ’s sakes, Hillary did not emulate Bernie Sanders. He pushed her left on some issues, but that’s it.

I’m a 50-ish woman who was all in for Bernie, then voted for Hillary in the general. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve been insulted and scorned by the HillzGalz throughout the primary season, calling me a BernieBro, then telling me, “YOU LOST, GET OVER IT!” at every opportunity after the primary.

No, we should be concerned about not calling them bad all the damn time, because calling someone bad all the time is not going to change their mind, it’s only going to make them double down on what you think is bad about them.

The comment section here is fallout from the smug assuredness of a Clinton victory... months of jerking off about how “we’re finally getting the first female president guys!” that has left everyone dumbfounded as to how it could have possibly go wrong. So they cling to the identity politics and decide that the only

Newsflash: no one cares/pays attention to policy that necessitates the use of a drafting table and a fucking T-square to figure out.

If liberals do one thing well, it is dividing people up into segments and then tell each segment why they aren’t good enough.

Cheers, finally some damn common sense! People want to go apoplectic on each other and refuse to understand where things went wrong when we have a perfect example of exactly how to run a fucking campaign who’s still in office for 2 more months.

You lost because people were tired of being labeled for having a different opinion than you. Instead of discussing issues with people who disagreed with you, you lumped them in with the crazies. Many of those people didn’t vote for Trump. They voted against the ideology that called them names and labeled them.

The

I agree. Clinton wasn’t a bad candidate, but she certainly wasn’t populist and her campaign team was comprised entirely of idiots.

Yeah, this is what blows my mind. Obama literally did this twice, and it worked. He got all classes behind him. And yet these DNC liberal goons are appopleptic at the thought of repeating that success.

Lots of people are suffering. You can appeal to everyone at the same time. Its not mutually exclusive to talk about issues that face minorities and issues that face the white working class. Obama did this for two election and was able to win.

I keep repeating this to no avail. But will try again.

I feel like the problems with our elections is the same as the problems with feminism. You can’t jam your ideas down someone else’s throat. Have an opinion, be vocal about your opinion, but express yourself in a non-threatening way because you’ll alienate people who could otherwise be persuaded if you approached them

The Dems had fewer African-American and Latinx voters this time around, many of whom are also workers. The Democratic Party never made it clear how Democratic policies help workers. Not a particular variety of workers, but all workers. When wages decline, workers vote for specific policies that bolster wages and

NO ONE is saying to completely abandon minority concerns and only cater to white people. No one is saying that. What needs to happen is maybe stop using identity politics as a fucking bludgeon against white people, and maybe try and convince people that equality for minority groups actually benefits us all in the

We saw the OPPOSITE happen, which was: everybody shut up except for groups XY and Z.

Here’s our plan, from what I can tell:
