They pushed all their chips to the center of the table betting on Obama Socialism, and lost.
The Clintons corrupted the Democratic Party and then Obama radicalized it. Democrats used to be the party of the working man. Today they represent the coastal elite, militant SJWs, illegal aliens, and transexuals.
The party needs a "Come to Jesus" moment. Hopefully, God willing, after November's shellacking, they'll re-evaluate their message.
America benefits from two strong parties to keep each other in check. Give one party all the power and they will eventually become corrupted with it.
At one time both parties saw eye-to-eye on most things. We were, after all, all Americans (remember the days of pro-2A, pro-life Democrats?) Today the Democratic Party is an angry, dysfunctional mess of angry, radical malcontents spewing nothing but hate and getting everyone on both sides riled up. The country is coming apart. People actively hate each other. I full blame the Democrats for this.
The Democrats need to be soundly defeated in November and then they need to unf**k themselves.
