75. Really...
In the last 20 years who has been our most successfull politician? It is Bill Clinton, the only Democrat to win the WHite House diring the time of which you speak. Are you seriously using Bill Clinton as an example of Democratic futility?

What great President can you name that did not have to compromise? WHat great President did not have to sacrifice some principles for the greater good?

You can't name any because there are none. This is how our system works. To say that Bill Clinton abandonded our progressive principles is just silly. He retreated where he had to, and in the process advanced most of what we believe.
