Post mortem thread. Why did we lose?

[woo me with science]

205. What a surreal response.

The whole of your participation in this thread is joining those who mock and belittle any mention of these things and instead push absurd, apologistic fantasy narratives to explain the anger of voters at corporate Democrats ....such as that voters who elected Obama in a landslide are now inexplicably gone too racist to support him even though he is doing a good job.

Don't you get whiplash?

And it's especially absurd, because you continue to act as though he's merely unable to STOP things, even though the examples I gave, over and over again, were of proactive, often unilateral choices to wield a whole new axe after axe at Americans. Is it your contention that he was forced to do all of this proactive damage? He gets memos on his desk saying, "Today you will expand police militarization, or decide to sell off the Gulf of Mexico, or push the TPP, or appoint Cass Sunstein to propagandize Americans re: the NSA? If you truly believe that things have gone so far that Obama is crying at his own agenda and appointments and executive orders, and trembling behind his desk because they keep making him, day after day after day, proactively take these whacks at all of us....

Then how the HELL do you explain your repeated expressions of support and contentment with this presidency, and all your posts praising the administration and supporting those who mock and disparage those of us who point these outrages out, over and over again?

You can't have it both ways. This is the problem with Third Way messaging. It's absurd. It's beyond absurd. It's embarrassing.
