Why Democrats Lost For Complete Idiots

"The Democrats gained control of both Congress and the Presidency in 2008. They then pursued ineffective policies which didn’t fix the economy. They increased deportations of Hispanics. They restricted abortion rights for women. They spat on gays repeatedly. They betrayed unions. They gutted civil rights, going even further than George W. Bush (who never said he had the right to assassinate Americans.)
They saved bankers who then rewarded themselves with record bonuses and salaries while average American wages actually declined."......Ian Welsh
The base was demoralized, not because the Dems went too far left,
but because they went too far right.
