(20,709 posts)nation in the last two decades is siphoning votes away from Gore and thereby facilitating the Bush debacle.
That seems to be the strategy that many, perhaps most DUers, seem to be using to try and achieve their political objectives. To sabotage any imperfect candidate. It worked so great in 2000, let's do it again! Maybe the next Republican will start another huge war and re-collapse the economy!
Is it any wonder they feel marginalized? Have they even accepted that the 2000 strategy was a mistake, and let to horrible outcomes in the real world? Not even close. Are they doing anything positive, like mounting energetic grassroots campaigns, say getting senators elected from blue states? No. There's a total of one Senator in the progressive caucus.
Their favorite activities are complaining, threatening, and pretending that Hillary and GOPers are the same. Yes, that's a great way to grow influence and be taken seriously.
