28. Ten points ahead when? Before the national campaign? Before the GOP stopped running ads for him?

You are beginning to sound like the far right in 2008 - they just voted for him because he's black. "I must've hear people say they were voting for him because he's black about a thousand times." Same hyperbole, even.

"Democrats clearly need to focus attention on state and local races, where they have done steadily worse throughout the Obama years. But at the national level, they should resolutely avoid the circular firing squad. They didn't lose because their message was unpopular or because they're out of touch or because they're insufficiently centrist or insufficiently leftist. That just wasn't the problem. The Democratic message was fine; Democrats are perfectly well in touch with their constituencies; and they weren't perceived as too unwilling to shake things up. Even with eight years of Democratic rule acting as a headwind, Hillary Clinton's default performance was a substantial win."

I might even suggest that people who want a "whole new paradigm" do the actual work of starting a party, forming coalitions, and running candidates. But it is so much easier to sit around and bitch about the Democrats not conforming to their user preferences, isn't it? Perhaps you can get Ralph Nader to help you out with that.

All those women and LGBTs sucking the oxygen out of the air with their "identity issues" and help the group that we're all ignoring - white men who think that they have been cut out of the American Dream.
