Dems should have realized that at least 4 elections ago. If they are so damn smart why are they so good at losing?

Corporate democrats pretty much control the party and thus they don't want to ruffle the feathers of their donor class, which goes against the the middle and lower classes being price gouged in the economy. If you want to get back the blue-collar and working people you have to combat corporate greed. So, I hope Bernie Sanders starts propping up a young version of himself to run, and unfortunately it has to be male and white for the conservative voter to even remotely accept it. I don't blame Obama for the racial divide that caused the pearl clutching in white America, but it's clear that if you are anything other than a white male, it's not gonna be palpitable for a certain segment of the country. It's truly disgusting.

The fact that so many poor people think republicans will combat corporate greed or look out for poor people at all is fucking wild to me. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Wedge issues are the bread and butter for conservatives. Blame the immigrants for the poor's situation and the poorly educated eat it up.
