Another General Election cycle, another Democratic Party loss.

[Doubledee]

81. An excellent suggestion

For far too long the real democratic party has disappeared , its progressives silenced, its message muted, its leadership focused on the same large donors as its rival across the aisle. I believe the reason for this rightward shift is simply the need for ever more campaign cash, the Citizens Untied ruling , the twin evils that blight our democracy and make democrats too busy bowing to the corporate donor to focus on their own heritage.

When coupled with a President, however eloquent and well meaning, who has spent seven years making noble speeches and then hiding somewhere, refusing to stand and fight for his supposed and eloquently expressed principles. the obvious result is an electorate having little choice but to follow the party making all the noise.
