It's all about who to blame. Let's see . My how the list grows. The Electoral Collage, the Russians, James Comey, misogyny, Bernie Sanders, Fox News, Citizens United, the NRA, fake news and of course Cambridge Analytica. Did I miss anything?

Quote:
As recently as 2011, the Democrats controlled the White House, 59 percent of the House, and a filibuster-proof 60 percent of the Senate. Under the same laws, the same Constitution, and with an almost identical electorate, the Democrats controlled the political branches of government with huge majorities. How did they lose it all? Because the people did not like what they did with that power once they had it. That’s not a broken system, it’s a democratic republic working as designed.

The sad thing about this is that Democrats and the progressive wing that seems to be taking over that party haven't learned a thing. A perfect example of that just played out in the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. From Feinstein's shady behavior, to Booker's clown show, to crazies banging on the chamber door the left in America have lost their way. Continually try to blame or find excuses for the current political reality is not the way forward. Upping the ante on identity and gender politics is not the answer. Old white women blaming old white men is not the answer. It is time to look in the mirror and ask what are we doing wrong.
