    Congratulations, you are why Trump was elected. It’s your fucking obligation as a citizen to be informed and engaged in our process. Is the two party system bullshit? Yes. But the way it’s set up if you abstain or vote third party that’s effectively a vote for a republican, and you are very nearly as responsible as them. You want a more progressive dnc? Register and fucking primary incumbent establishment dems with progressives. Drag the party left or own the fucking responsibility of being a part of the problem.

      Congratulations, people like you are why Democrats lose when they try to appeal to what they perceive to be centrist views and betray their base for massive corporations :)

      Democrats lose when they fail to turn out their base because their base knows they are full of shit…

        Where in the hell have you been for the last thirty years? The Democrats are a centrist party. If anything they’re a center right party because of people spouting bullshit like you instead of pulling the party left. If every whiny liberal and leftist actually fucking voted in primaries for progressives we’d have a populist progressive Democrat party. But you’d rather bitch on the internet about your bullshit principles that got trump elected.
