      The Democratic National Committee is controlled opposition. Obama was a fantastic president by Republican standards, Hillary, while more qualified than any candidate has ever been, has the charisma of a dumpster cheeseburger (iT wUz HEr TurN), Joe is a Nixon-era neocon goofus. They don’t want to win, but if they happen to accidently win, they make sure it’s someone safe and slightly right-of-center.

        The last Democrat to take office was Jimmy Carter. After Reagan successfully convinced the electorate that the concept of governing is prima facie a bad idea, Dems seized the opportunity to engage in a hard-right shift and position themselves as “fiscally common-sense but socially liberal” and weaponize intersectionality into identity politics so that we’d all think it was a great victory if our tax money was being redistributed to big banks by a black man, illegal drone assassinations were being ordered by a woman and labor laws were being undermined by a gay man.

      That will cost them donor money. A long time ago Dems realized that it’s a lot easier to turn money into votes than it is to turn votes into money.
