[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 50850, member: 35"] Enabling is exactly what many Democrats are doing by choosing to blame everybody but themselves for their shortcomings. Even Hillary acknowledged the Trump voters who had been let down by the establishment, but did nothing to change her image. I'm all for bashing Trump's horrific policies and calling him out on his bullshit. However, Democrats need to recognize their own flaws and fix them if they hope to win again. That was the percentage based on a Gallup poll from early January. Independents were at 44%, Republicans were at 28%, and Democrats were at 25%. You can accuse me of enabling all you want, but the fact remains that Trump campaigned against the TPP and in favor of Social Security, Medicare, and a health care plan where everybody would be covered. Obviously he was bullshitting just like he always does, but he knew he couldn't win based on his fascist policies alone. Hillary, on the other hand, told Rachel Maddow she didn't need to court Bernie supporters because she was "winning." Of course, she changed her tune once she realized she couldn't win with the support of establishment hacks alone. However, adopting better policies is meaningless if you do little to campaign on them. Although Clinton and Trump both have their loyal supporters, many voters had their own pragmatic reasons for voting for them. They were two of the most unpopular presidential candidates for a reason.
