    The modern Democratic party fights harder against its own “base” than they do against the opposing party. People still came out in droves to vote for them despite that but their dedication to complacency in a system that is failing everybody but the rich left enough people behind to tip the scales. The Dems have enabled this and anybody who expects them to save us from it is delusional.

      i hate to inform you that most of the people who vote for the democratic party are significantly more centrist than you and me. They really don’t care, as long as it isn’t the republican voter base, i’m sure they have gripes, we all do, but they probably just don’t care as much. That’s why they consistently manage such high, but not winning turnout numbers. They mobilize the majority of their base, not the majority of their base, and anybody else that they can.
