they made when they won back Congress and then the White House.

By deferring to and bailing out Wall Street rather than punishing them, pushing for trade deals that screw American workers, continuing wars that destabilize the Middle East and drive waves of refugees into Europe, the centrists or whatever you want to call yourselves these days lost BIG.

Hillary won the popular vote, but you still don't have the House, Senate, most governorships, or most state legislatures.

If your only response to those losses is to blame people for not voting for you, you're like a drug addict who gets mad at his family for not giving him their paychecks to feed his habit.

The first step is to admit you have a problem, and it aint progressive voters.
