(62,325 posts)It really is that simple. People held their noses for her for way too long, now the public is done doing that AND done with the same old 'lesser evil' argument for keeping people in office who do not represent them.
Either the Dem Party finally gets that message, or they are going to continue to lose both elections and members. You can rail all you want on the internet, but the fact is, voters vote for people who represent them, who fight for them. She has been given chance after chance to start CARING about those who held their noses and kept giving her another chance. Clearly she has lost the faith of those who elected in the past. THAT is NOT on the VOTERS. This 'blame the voters' nonsense is having the exact opposite effect on people, it is driving them even further away.
The largest voting bloc in the country right now are Independents. Both parties are losing voters. A political shift is happening and and if Dems continue to ignore it, the voters will do what they did in this last election, they will focus on local elections and issues in order to get their concerns addressed. It worked for them this time. So it's likely to be the voters response to DC's bubble where their issues are dismissed, time after time.
