after losing, shows how out of touch the majority of that party has become. Progressivism has been largely rejected as Obama has implemented it into from textbooks to government.

When climate change "weather" is touted as the biggest threat to American society you have lost it and lost voters.

Becoming more progressive = more election losses

I thought this was isolated to one guest I saw this morning, but the more I read, I think you are right: they really think their problem was that they weren't far enough to the left.

Okay

Yep. If the others 50% of voters who didn't participate this time are ever motivated In Any real numbers it will be to reject liberal crap.

Middle America already thinks that someone who is basically the dictionary definition of eccentric billionaire reflects their values more than the Democratic party does.

I'd say they need to start thinking about blue collar voters like they did decades ago.....not shutting them out even more.

ISIS is more of a threat than the climate

Mary Matalin was in utter disblief this AM when they wanted to double down on it lol

She looked like she was talking to an alien when she said "you really think the way to win back the working class is things like climate change" and the response was "when people in charleston ( charleston being the example for redneck working class) understand that they are going to be underwater they will vote in their self interests"

Sunday is always the interesting time to watch because they tend to let their true bias out because they arent having to build a daily audience for ratings.

They still dont get it.

It certainly is funny to see them move more left and they truly think that's the answer.

they've been saying this for decades now, and those folks see the water level pretty much right where its been their whole lives.

Yep and its just hilarious that she thinks charleston as a sterotype for redneck land when its really the austin of the east coast. Bunch of transplants looking for a "hip" place.

Dont get me wrong I love charleston but to think it reflects most of South Carolina is IMO yet another example of their lack of awareness and bubble mentality. IE they dont talk like me therefore are uneducated idiots.

For you younger folks, this is the exact opposite tact taken by Bill Clinton after the Jimmy Carter defeat. He moved the Dem party to the center and said 'the era of big govt is over.'
The current Dems think they are just not nearly left wing enough.

A reminder to Rush listeners. His critics always say "Rush really wants Dems to be in the WH because he can get more listeners." His response was "Actually, when Republicans are in power the Liberals are a lot whackier and I have more great material."

It's gonna be a fun year.

These guys came give a 2 hour long lecture on climate change. The data and graphs they presented show how the earth warms and cools over the course of thousands of years. Currently, we are warming up and entering the ceiling where the earth starts to cool again. It is only Mother Natures cycle to survive. The link posted above shows some of their work.

It is by far a political strategy to scare people for $ and votes.
