In reply to the discussion: James Hodgkinson, the DC Shooter, Has Himself to Blame for Electing Trump [View all]leftstreet

Welcome to DU, person I haven't encountered before
Really needs repeating:
"Our party IS in the minority at the Federal level as well as State governments across much of the nation and still our party leadership wants to keep doing things the exact same way they've done them since the 80's. If you ask our party leaders and campaign managers to try to win "Red" states, they think you mean throwing women, lgbtq, immigrants, Muslims and minorities under the bus and start talking about Gawd 'n' Guns 'n' Tax Cuts yee-haw!"
That's one of the biggest black political holes I've ever seen. Democrats assuming they had parity when Clinton, then Obama, were in office. All the while the right has been systematically trouncing them at every level.

That's supposed to reassure us? It's definitely quieter. Why would anyone advocate for that?
