      I agree, and said so in 80, 84, 88, 2000, 2004, and 2016.

      “If only they had done-“ still ignores two key points:

      • Anyone can step up, so . . . where are these political masterminds the other 1400 days
      • running a political party, or any organization with thousands of people in it, is hard as shit

        The DNC silences anyone that isn’t a neocon establishment pick. They don’t let the people have a voice and just listen to their donors. They need to have real open primaries where they do not obstruct the outcome. Once they can find their maverick like Republicans found theirs maybe they’ll start winning decisively again.
