To win back support, the Democratic candidate must offer a positive and coherent vision centered on care and progressive policies, rather than relying solely on anti-Trump rhetoric.

    Blaming Hillary’s loss on one progressive idea instead of the millions of other reasons people had to not vote for her is just straight up head-in-the-sand insane.

    Al Gore got straight up robbed by the SC, but even ignoring that let’s not forget that was 24 years ago and climate action was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy less popular than it is now. Let’s also not forget he won the popular vote.

        Such a fantastically stupid list of completely unsupported assertions. And they have it saved, so they can go over it with people! I have two takeaways from this thread:

        • I’m going to start referring to this kind of argument as “root beer logic”. Nobody will know what I’m talking about, but I’ll think it’s funny.

        • They’re probably a political strategist for the DNC
