I completely understand and agree with your point, but I understand Bob's point as well.
He said "I hope that moderate Democrats learned the lesson from 2016... it's going to take more than "Vote for us, she's at least 25% less crooked than Trump!" to win the next election."
And this echo's my feelings exactly. The big thing many democrats on this board seem to keep forgetting is that people don't vote. This country is a liberal country, and all things being equal, the democrats should be winning most of the time. I can go through issue by issue and show where studies have absolutely shown most of the US is on the same page, whether it's abortion, health care, etc etc.

What is it about other people on the left that can't see the criticism with the dems and Hillary and simply admit that its true? You can both hate Hillary, and have voted for her - and wish she was president. While also hate the DNC and the democrats for putting you in that situation to begin with, and hate them even more for helping to elect Trump. Because make no mistake, the DNC and the democrats are, even in some small part, responsible for Trump winning by putting up Hillary against him, or at the very least for not campaigning more in the states that would have made it harder to lose.
