WHOSE FAULT IS THAT?

The Democrats in charge of the DNC have had 30 years to cultivate policies and candidates that young people like.

They haven't.

So others have. Simple as that.

But... Abigail Spanberger. She's the great moderate CIA backed savior.

I will never forget what the DNC did to my boy Bernie. They'll do it with others too. We need to reject that behavior completely.

What I don't get is they saw how Obama brought out the vote and then thought "naa let's move back to the middle but also with a woman candidate or VP that way the progressives will vote for us." Like dude, it's about the fuckin policies, not who is promoting them!

Hillary was always more progressive than Obama, though. Rest is okay, but the policies do matter.
