Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers: Boogaloo
A few more points:
1) Kep no offense but again you're refusing to acknowledge the whims of the electorate over the last 40 years. You continue to harp on the Dems sold out meme since 1980, apparently completely oblivious that the Dems nominated arch liberals in 1984 and 1988 and won about 11 states over TWO elections! Clearly, arch liberalism wasn't selling with the voters particularly idiot baby boomers. Had they gone arch liberal in 1992 they would have received a similar @ ssbeating and Breyer and RBG would have been supplanted by two Scalia wannabes. Sometimes it helps to spend time in reality, Kep, not how you wish history should be re-written.
2) Saying "economic liberalism" is the cure for the problems of non-whites smacks of elitism that even I can see from the back of my limo, and that's saying something. Non-whites, particularly, blacks are concerned that they and their kids are going to get gunned down while unarmed at a traffic stop. Sanders to my knowledge really made no connection with that angst beyond the vague promise that taxing the rich back to the Stone Age would help them out with all that. Oh, and trix the Dem primary skews non-white as a whole. I think 40% of primary Dem voters are in fact non-white. This is going to be a major factor to help determine who the 2020 nominee is at it helped pick from the 2008 and 2016 nominees.
