Democrats don't stand for anything.

They vote with most of his policies. They're Republican lite. What are they going to talk about? Poverty? Infastructure? No, they're going to whine about Stormy Daniels and Russia some more. They actually believe they can win the midterms with Story Daniels.

I don't even know why they had to come up with the Russia thing when it was clearly the electoral college that stole it.

Both parties are broken. The Democrats have only themselves to blame in losing the election. The party repeatedly shot themselves in the foot. For example, they blatantly backed Hillary in the primaries, an already unpopular candidate, making the primaries effectively pointless. This happened to piss off quite a number of people who would've voted Democrat

The weird thing about that is, while Hillary may have had some baggage, she *was* a really strong candidate on paper. And she had reasonable good approval ratings during her SoS stint which, despite her disastrous Middle East policy, had relatively little blowback (basically just Benghazi, which was a complete intelligence failure that exposed her cronyism and ineptitude but, for the most part, was used more as a political tool by the end)

And, if I'm being perfectly honest, I kinda feel that party leadership *should* pick the candidate to represent them. Even if they don't pick the most widely-liked candidate (which is often the wrong candidate), they won't go with somebody who will alienate the majority of the base (and no, Hillary wasn't *that* polarizing)
