Seriously Widdershins you surprise me?

Obama needed to build a solid grassroots that understood what we were facing with the ruthless Oligarch campaign to take our government.  He got too caught up in the glory of his position and playing President, which he really did well, after all the guys a legal scholar so functionally we were in good hands.  But not recognizing the seething hatred and the coalescing alt-right campaign of deception – but the Democrats never have been any good at appreciating the big picture.

The need to help an inform and nurture and engaged electorate that would stand up for what we believe.  F’n Clinton was the same thing, though he had a much better appreciation for the political game, as his post presidency shows.  But not keeping his pecker in his pants, not doing everything to get Gore elected by a big margin, which an intelligent campaign could have done.

But the Democrats have alway been too self sure, too smug to recognize what was coming at them.  Least that’s what it has seemed like to me for decades now.  Trump president and 40% of the nation loving him, you don’t think that’s a full system failure that every f’n leftie, progressive is part of?
