You sound exactly like all the Repukes did after Romney got his ass handed to him.
"Romney lost because he wasn't conservative enough!"
"If Romney had stuck to conservative principles, he would have won!"
"We need to nominate REAL conservatives!"
It's the exact same myopic shit. Just interchange "third way", "blue dogs", or "moderate Dems" here and there and you've got the same nonsense. We didn't lose because of those groups. We lost because we didn't show up at the polls.
I know some on here are desperately trying to pass the buck to the "uninspiring candidates", but who nominated those candidates? Democrats did. If you aren't happy with the candidates you keep getting quit whining and work to nominate someone else. Take some personal responsibility for your party, for gawd's sake.
One last thing, quit blaming old people and white men for voting for their preferred candidate. Like it or not, they did what responsible, civic minded citizens are supposed to do: they voted. If we as liberals and Democrats had anywhere the same dedication we would have won easily.
