It could be that bad, but Joy Reid is a terrible analyst. DirkGently Nov 2016 #6

You might benefit from a perusal of this article. MADem Nov 2016 #11

Well, no. Poor Joy-Ann literally thinks there is still a Soviet Russia. DirkGently Nov 2016 #12

I think she's using the word as shorthand for "old school USSR, only with BMWs and high fashion" MADem Nov 2016 #15

Democrats always move right after a loss. athena Nov 2016 #13

Democrats move LEFT after a conservative wrecks things. DirkGently Nov 2016 #14

LOL--most of the "Obama Scolds" here (most of whom have departed or been tossed over the side) MADem Nov 2016 #16

Obama was left of Hillary, and America chose him DirkGently Nov 2016 #17

Hillary's not terribly "right." She's a product of her times, and has a JFK attitude on defense. MADem Nov 2016 #18

She's right of Obama, and Obama WON. DirkGently Nov 2016 #19

I don't think so. I think she is left of him on social programs, particularly women/kids issues. MADem Nov 2016 #20

She signed off on Iraq and opposed DirkGently Nov 2016 #21

Her state is where three thousand people were murdered. MADem Nov 2016 #22

You seem angry. But Hillary is still right of Obama of course. DirkGently Nov 2016 #25

Oh, snap - Hillary did this? yallerdawg Nov 2016 #33

I applaud your stamina. JTFrog Nov 2016 #34

I agree with that wholeheartedly. MADem Nov 2016 #36

Wait. Who's "letting the conservatives wreck things?" DirkGently Nov 2016 #24

Attacking Hillary and letting Trump win was not the way to move the Democratic Party left. athena Nov 2016 #26

Uh? Now it was liberal Dems who defeated Hillary in the general election? DirkGently Nov 2016 #27

We did nominate the wrong person. athena Nov 2016 #29

Back up. You said, "Democrats always move right after a loss." DirkGently Nov 2016 #30

Bingo--well said. nt MADem Nov 2016 #39
