Van Jones on Democratic Partys Future: The Clinton Days Are Over You Cant Run and Hide

[stevenleser]

82. Bill Clinton's influence on the party resulted in winning the popular vote 6 of the last 7 elections

I think Van has selective memory in terms of what our results were like before that. I'm being generous because he actually doesn't seem like he remembers it at all.

You want to complain about a change from the results of 1980, 1984 and 1988 to what Bill Clinton brought in 1992 and 1996 and thereafter?

The burden is on anyone who wants to move the party further to the left than where it is now to convince those of us who actually remember the party pre-Clinton to show us how that will work.

There is absolutely nothing indicating the country is demanding a shift to the left. On the contrary, the country and the world seems to have taken a sharp turn to the right.

At a time like that, Jones is suggesting offering up candidates and policies that is not what the country wants right now?

No thank you. I am not interested in another map like this one:



and by the way, this map ^^^^ is the better one for Democrats than 1984 and 1980.
