    If I’ve noticed anything about Dems/mainstream liberals… it’s that they are smug as hell and seem to think their ideas are so perfect and pure that they sell themselves. They absolutely refuse to sell their ideas or campaign on them… which it makes it seem to teh average person they are either condescending pricks, or have none.

    BTW, Obama was not like this, nor was Clinton. Hence their sweeping victories. But the dem leadership and most dem voters seem to think ‘being on the right side of history’ means they don’t have to appeal to voters… because if the voters don’t vote for them they are ‘bad people’.

    It’s not even about centrism or not. It’s about actually doing politics instead of sitting on your ass and blaming voters for not voting for you. Trump did the politics. His team and him targeted disgrunted americans of all flavors… and got their votes by appealing to them and telling them what they wanted to hear.

    Meanwhile Kamala was lecturing the American public how great the economy was… while prices were exploding and the middle/lower classes fall further and further behind.

      Important clarification: Bill Clinton was not. Hillary absolutely came off that way
