First of all, we love Paul Blest! Great piece! I would argue that the rot started even well before Obama; it feels like everyone in senior leadership of the Democratic Party is still running the Clinton Campaign of the 1990s. Maybe it's because of the Olds at the top of the party leadership (Nancy Pelosi's sell-by date was at least 4 years ago, and if you don't think she still has outsized influence in the party you're dreaming), or maybe it's the PTSD from Bush-Gore 2000 and the inability for anyone involved to move on, but since 2000 the Dems have only won because of Obama's cult of personality and a national desire to move on from Trump 1.0 (so, in essence, a reverse cult of personality). The only new idea this party has had since the turn of the millennium has been for the candidate to go on Call Her Daddy in addition to 60 Minutes. Also:
And the only reason Republicans won was because parties rarely get more than 8 years of the presidency and then Trump got the benefit of the same anti-incumbent sentiment that's swept every through every country since the pandemic hit.
It is so dumb to think the "democrats" - AKA the people posting here are all dumb as rocks.
Obama was 8 years. The people here are all democrats. The parties are all permeable and made up of people just like those reading here. Spending all the time blaming others instead of realizing that the government, the parties etc. are all just people like us is how we get a basic lack of effort on changing anything.

Also where are you getting 8 years from? Biden had one term between Trump's now-two.

I'm not a Democrat🤣 I'm an anarchist. Both parties hate us🤦♀️
I didn't say anything about people posting here. I was talking about the party leadership.
