The Democrats' biggest donor says the party is blowing it and should get behind Bernie's platform

23. Those losses came as a result of passing healthcare and not investing in the party for

8 years, not fighting voter suppression. not because "centrists" were running. In 2016 the Russian factor was added and tipped the scales.

Do you think Russ Feingold was too centrist?

Are you saying that Obama, as party head should have built up the party during the past eight years? I know he has mentioned some regret the losses.

Do you think Sanders and other candidates should build up the party instead of their own organizations?

I think that Obama made a smart move on passing healthcare-It ended the debate between whether to secure healthcare for the non-medicaid, non-medicare population or leave them uncovered or badly covered.

The debate is now between the ACA and universal coverage. and universal will win. People got a taste for what they were missing and don't want to give it up---they want more.

I don't want to insult Sanders, or his billionaire backer but the analysis is not impressive.

The term Progressive is being misused too much-sort of like those evangelicals who claim to be the only Christians and rejected Catholics and protestant denominations as not Christian.
