(32,886 posts)Before the changes that came to the party with the Clinton's in 1992, the Democratic Party had lost five of the last six elections and by landslide margins. The one election they won in 1976 they won by a small margin and that was because of threat of impeachment/resignation/Watergate. Otherwise we would likely have lost 1976 as well.
From 1992 until this last election in 2016, we won the popular vote in six of seven Presidential races, winning four of the seven races electoral colleges as well.
The Clintons and the changes they made saved the party and made it competitive. That's why the Republicans hate them so much.
What you and Sanders are working to do is undo that and return us to the time where we lost by landslide margins every four years.
