2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Yeah, in connection with Yavin4's thread on Hillary Hate [View all]Maedhros
(10,007 posts)vote for horrible Democrats to keep Republicans out of office, but don't expect those Democrats to do anything.
The question I ask is "what is the end game to this strategy?" The strategy as presented is thus:
1. Keep electing corporate Democrats
2. ???
3. Progressive governance!
I just don't see how to get from #1 to #3. Assume we elect Hillary in 2016. In 2024 we'll be asked to hold our noses AGAIN and vote for ANOTHER corporate sell-out. If we win, we'll do the same in 2032...and in 2040...and in 2048. What will the Party look like then?
There is a reason this propaganda is being leveraged against us - the corporate entities that support Democratic candidates do not want liberal or progressive governance.
When you vote for corporate candidates, you get corporate governance. It doesn't get simpler than that.
