    That’s it! Distract from inadequacy by hand waving away support for a genocide! That’s the ole Democratic playbook!

    Has it occurred to you that the kind of politician that will sell out to AIPAC to support a genocide is also the kind of politician that will have sold out to a miriad of other special interests and failed to inspire voters in a myriad of other ways?

    This is the triangulation curse that Bill Clinton brought to Democratic politics that is perpetuated by the Democratic consultancy complex. This a-la-carte tailoring of policies to give just enough to each group to make them feel special. That stopped working decades ago, and the Democrats still cling to it. We need leaders who know wrong from right and aren’t afraid to say so. We need leadership that can inspire a population that cares about something more than the bottom line. Democrats didn’t just fail to win elections, they destroyed the soul of this country. Then the demons moved in.
