    The party should have fielded better candidates instead of constantly pushing candidates that appeal to right-wing voters who would never even vote for them to begin with.

      When the farther right candidate wins, that’s the direction they go. It sucks, but they’re going to follow the voters.

        Seems that’s the only direction they go since all their wealthy donors prefer it that way which is why we keep getting status quo “business as usual” candidates like Clinton and Biden getting all the party support, while progressive candidates get sidelined, get excluded from debates, get zero media coverage, get treated like lunatics, etc.

        If you think voters are “getting what they want” then you haven’t been paying attention to politics in this country.
