Failing to give the people in your party something to vote for [View all]

Instead of poll tested lip service, and then blaming those same people for not showing up to vote, is a problems that Democrats have failed to look at and understand for at least 2 decades. It's not the fault of the disenfranchised that leaders go to Washington to benefit themselves instead of their country.
People are fed up with incremental loss of rights to appease republicans. We DONT need to move farther right one iota to get people to the polls. It is just the opposite.
The revolution is coming, it will not be televised but make no mistake. You should be glad too, if not for Bernie we'll be staring at president tRump.
