Dear Obama: Stop Trying to Appease Republicans…It Makes You Look Bad

[GoLeft TV]

In the 1990’s, Bill Clinton thought he could appease everyone – just like Obama thinks today. So he partnered up with the DLC and Third Way Democrats, and when he did that, he completely abandoned the working class, unions, and consumers.

That’s why we ended up with NAFTA that cost us over a million jobs and shut down more than 60 thousand manufacturing plants in Michigan alone. We got the Telecommunications Act that allowed for media consolidation and the death of journalism. And what did Bill get in return? He got impeached by the very people he was so desperate to make happy.

And unfortunately, President Obama learned none of those lessons from the 90’s. America’s Lawyer, Mike Papantonio, discusses this.

1. I don't know why but Obama has never learned that they are his enemies and

will do everything possible to thwart his efforts. He should have figured that out by now.

2. That's just Clintonism at work

Bill and Hillary invented this tactic back in the '90s. It has ever worked -- except to give them power and money. Everyone else has suffered.

3. Unlike Sanders supporters, the President knows that we have divided government and

cannot rule with an iron fist. It's that problematic math thing again......LOL

4. And because he never fought for anything

we had terrible turnouts for the midterm elections. You can't expect people to vote for meh.

5. The Democrats traditionally have low turnouts for midterms. Blaming him is an epic fail.

6. Its a ...

Sanders past time.

8. Apparently, getting your base to vote for your party at midterms is not that important...

Apparently, appeasing republicans and having democrats who sounds like republicans is not a good tactic.

The elections that democrats have won have been the real progressives and not people who sound like bible thumpers and DINOs who are in the pocket of corporations.
Alan Grayson and Elisabeth Warren are two such examples of success and the ladder example is one of the worst campaigns from someone calling themselves democrat.

Hillary and Bill Clinton only represents everything regretable about the disease that has inflicted the party:
Dirty money!

7. He always started by giving what the repukes wanted...

ignoring the base who voted him in.

Which proves that 3rd way democrats are unprincipled and spineless more than happy to give away everything and get nothing in return. From the last 7 years, it almost feels as if it's the republicans who won the election.
With a 90s republican masquerading as a democrat.
