2016 Postmortem

If you think its "silly" to think that both parties have shifted to the right. Or that....trying not to laugh....that the Dems have actually shifted left. Again, do you even understand the concept of Third Way policy that Bill initiated? Maybe you should do some research on that first.

So she was seen as to the right of Obama in their primary battle, and now she's to the left? The only issue Hillary could be deemed 'to the left' of Obama is the TPP, something she once called the "gold standard" of trade deals, so sorry, I don't believe that pivot other than anything but political pandering because she knew she had to to have any chance of winning.




I could show you chart after chart proving how the gap between the rich and poor has been widening over the last decades. How do you think that has happened? Is it all Republicans fault? The right wing corporate pro-business class has been catered to more and more by both parties. Taxes cut every year for the top percentage, and more and more programs and benefits taken away from the lesser well off in order to pay for that. Along with a cultural demonization of what they brand "entitlements" and a glorification of wealth as celebrity.

And I think the onus was more on the Democrats like Hillary to communicate the Democrat party's accomplishments. I don't think the party as a whole crows enough about their accomplishments, or more specifically WHY they are accomplishments, why they are and have been beneficial to the public.
