bloggers and twitter people do. people within the democratic machine do not. up until maybe the past 2 years it was entirely heretical to even lightly suggest that obama did not do a good job without shifting all the blame towards mitch mcConnell or the koch brothers. actual critiques of the power structure from within are rare and even then, hardly ever substantive or satisfying.

... which is why the Democrats keep losing easy elections, like against Donald f'ing Trump. Clinton almost won with an absolutely horrible campaign that failed to excite anyone. She even through in that awful 'deporables' comment. I know what she meant, but it sounded like she was insulting the entire US working class. Donald Trump is one of the most consistently unpopular and widely disliked presidents in history. He has his fanatical base, but that base is no more than 30% of the population at best. Most other people can't stand him and the only reason they'd vote for him is if they feel there is no better choice. The fact that there is any question at all about the outcome of this election shows just how pathetic the Democrats are at connecting with the electorate.
