Emanuel told us Democrats have to stop being a liberal-only party for liberal-only voters: "We used to have liberal, moderate and conservative Democrats. Now we're basically a liberal party, because African American and Hispanic voters went out the back door. They're the ones who walked as we became more liberal."

Dems need to focus on the stuff that matters to most Americans instead of chastising and lecturing voters on how they are deficient.

Bill Clinton did an excellent job at that. Maybe Manchin or some other Dem from a southern or other sheethole state can pick up the banner.

Oh, and no more Dem ladies for prez, please. They had two terrible nominees in the last three presidential elections because "it was their turn."

Latino and Black males can't stomach it; hurts their fragile egos. Time to cater to the lowest common denominator so we can get a Dem in the Oval Office and try to right the ship that the GOP is so insistent on sinking.

People like Censored can go [fudge] off. You're a [fudging] coward.

How's the Dem bravery working out so far? Locked out of all three branches of government with the GOP attacking century old progressive policies like social security, environmental laws, health care, etc. Disenfranchising voters left and right so Dems have next to no chance of regaining that kind of power in a generation.

But the Dems are Sooooo very brave! Putting up candidates based on what they have between their legs, even though a sizeable chunk of their own base can't stand those candidates for that very reason. Someone catch me, I'm going to swoon!

Are you going to vote for Jill Stein some more? No reasonable compromise is good enough for you, so why should Dems lose votes by adopting your outlier positions?

The Democratic party strategy of late sure has gone swimmingly right Censored??

It wasn't my bright idea to make women think they were entitled to the Dem nomination.

But reason would suggest that the lefty folks who are unable to manage to win with even the the more liberal party (Dems) are unlikely to pull off a win with the more moderate voters of the general election.

Hint to Censored: If you keep denegrating the voters you need, why would they vote for you?

Calling it how it is.

A sizeable portion of the Dem base/general election likely supporters will never vote for a woman. And others have difficulty voting for candidates from non-sheethole states (e.g., Massachusetts or California) because they feel those candidates are out of touch or because of insecurities regarding their own states.

Dems gotta take all that, and more, into account when figuring which candidates to field in the general election.
