Eh, I would argue Obama was a better candidate but I don’t want that to be the focus. I want better policy and follow-through with a group that will actually speak and engage with constituent dialog. I think even if someone like Sanders would’ve been elected that the Dems would drag their feet as a party with trying to pass anything effectove.
After the whole Debbie Waserman-Shultz (sp, I know) thing, I’ve been very interested in the individuals who run the day-to-day operations of the party and if they’re legitimately promoting progressive candidates and policy with their procedures. If we don’t hold the Dem party responsible for the people running it, not just elected individuals, it’s going to remain a power hungry organization only interested in their continued thriving (and whatever fucked up metric they’re using to determine that).
Sorry the people got themselves into this.
Sorry they hate your shitty candidates. Get better ones.
