[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 111819, member: 35"] But the establishment/moderate left doesn't want to hear that. They want to be a party of corporatist war mongers, while screwing workers with trade deals like NAFTA and the TPP. On top of that, they believe identity politics (including the condemnation of straight white men) gives them the moral high ground. They refuse to believe this is why they lost. Instead, they blame what they call "external forces" such as Russia, Comey, sexists, etc. They're so delusional that they even call Jill Stein voters sexist, many of whom were disenfranchised Demorats. When leftists criticize their own more than Trump, the moderates accuse them of not caring about how horrible he is. In truth, we are angry at the Democrats for their role in giving us this disgusting administration. They chose to rig the primaries, push shitty policies, ignore the working class, and their worst decision of all was elevating Trump in the media. Bernie's been selling this message for over two years, but ran against a political machine with name recognition. Hillary also controlled the DNC's finances, and thus the DNC itself. If the primaries were held today, there's no doubt in my mind that he would wipe the floor with her (even with DNC interference). His numbers have gone up, while her's have gone down. [/QUOTE]
