    It goes back farther, to Bill Clinton embracing Neo-Conservitive economic principals.
    That was the beginning of the end of the Democrats.

      Thank you. The most damage Dems ever did to most working class white folks in this country to prep them for despair, misery and authoritarianism was NAFTA. Couple that with not raising federal minimum wage when they had power. They want to keep billionaires happy though so no progressive candidates. Submarine Bernie. Annoint Hillary even though she was the most pro-war candidate in the primaries, she said she’d bomb Iran! This was after we’d barely finished the illegal disaster of fraudulent WMDs in Iraq and had begun slimming out of Afghanistan.

      The fact they lost minorities like Hispanics to vote for them when Trump is pitching hate and deportation…the measure of failure is impossible to put into words.
