(15,429 posts)The left never had Obama's back, thus the left lost power in the party.
The right ALWAYS had George W. Bush's back, thus the right gained power in the party.
In fact, the far right gained so much power that their insanity runs the Republican party while the left lost so much power that the left has almost no voice in the Democratic party.
The left, for the most part, has yet to learn the long game. The right has been playing the long game for fifty years.
Whining about not getting everything you want gets you nowhere, and actually causes you to lose ground.
Taking what you want inch by inch over decades and decades is how you succeed.
Look at how the right has whittled away at the rights of women. They've done it via the death of a thousand cuts, one little chunk at a time.
