Man the Democratic Party this election cycle has just been working overtime to invite the conversational wedge between 'saving american democracy from fascism' and 'voting against Trump.'
I guess that's what the donor class wants this time: "Do nothing but vote."
It’s what they want every time. Obama had to be shoved down their throats.
At first. He campaigned as a progressive the first time, but they soon taught him how to govern like a Clintonesque neoliberal 90%+ of the time while constantly promoting the (at the very most) 10% of what he did as president that benefitted regular people more than the already rich and powerful, their corporations and their hedge funds.
That's a pretty unfair analysis of Obama, if you look at Congress during those 8 years.
Not really, no. His own uninspired leadership is almost half as big a part of it as the 2010 redistricting plot. Not every bad idea or capitulation was because of Congress.
"Do nothing but vote for who we tell you to vote for."
