To win back support, the Democratic candidate must offer a positive and coherent vision centered on care and progressive policies, rather than relying solely on anti-Trump rhetoric.

    Gore: If the election wasn’t so close, then we wouldn’t have needed recounts huh? Thanks 3rd party voters!

    Obama: So you’re talking the primary? I’m talking the general. The message to the voters was very vague “hope” and relying on energy. And after Bush’s disastrous wars it didn’t take much to win against the GOP, people were sick of the lies.

    AND how long did Obama win? He won for years 1 and 2. Then for years 3 and 4 he lost the house of reps. Again for years 5 and 6 he lost the house of reps. And for years 7 and 8, he lost BOTH the house of reps and senate. That was his thanks for the ACA huh. Thanks voters that can’t be assed to show up for elections!

    Hilary: I’m saying she lost because the left didn’t show up to vote. Thanks no vote protesters! They thought it would move things left by not voting, but in reality the overton window went off the cliff to the right by letting Trump win. How’d that work out?

    So that’s why Biden ran on center. He learned from Hillary. And when running against an incumbent you run center.

    So back to my message. How do you get things to move left? You do that by giving Dems consistent and overwhelming victories. Because when they lose, they go to the center to find voters.
