      Except his “faction” is like 95% of the Democratic party electorate. It’s that game the Jacobros started playing after the 2016 election of pejoratively referring to non-Repubs who weren’t Bernie zealots as “centrists”

      Even popular factions are factions.

      A faction is a small minority group within a larger group. 80-95% is not a faction

      Yes, there was never any dissent in the Democratic party against Clinton or Obama on major policy issues. https://twitter.com/zeithistoriker/status/1177942852933844992 …

      Thanks for that. I’m from Detroit, was executive assistant to the president of the Metro Detroit AFL-CIO, did labor policy for the Dems in tbe MI Senate, & was loosely part of David Bonior’s political operation, so I didn’t know about that [I’m sure you know who David Bonior is]

      Yes, Dana, I know you have a long and varied career in Democratic party. Which is why I get frustrated when you claim an 95% consensus in party that (as you know well) has had many divisions.

      A. You can’t point to where I said or implied 95% consensus on policy or strategy bc I didn’t B. That you think there’s some big Dem faction that’s not pro-Obama or pro-Clinton is bizarroland. But hey, you go with that. I’m sure it leads to sound analysis.

      People like Obama enormously as a person even if they disagree with some of his policies, same with Clinton (to a lesser degree). So obviously personal popularity can be coupled with people wanting different policies.

      I don’t think he’s ever been a political reporter (or of any kind), been involved in US politics (& maybe not in Canada either),has any facility w quantitative data or probabilistic reasoning, has ever lived in tbe US, traveled much in the US, or even been to DC.

      I had a Fulbright scholarship and lived in USA for a year and have travelled pretty widely on east and west coast & Texas. Not so much internally as I'd like.

          Or canvassed a neighborhood. Or watched a focus group. Or talked to people outside a HS football game or a church or a DMV or at a farmer’s market or a Walmart. Or talked much to African-Americans or Latinos or 25 y/o white women who’ve never attended college.

          Well, I was being generous explaining your beliefs RE Americans/US politics BTW, all my grandparents were Canadian, my wife has many Canadian relatives, I’ve spent much time in Canada, close friends worked in Parliament, & I’m not close to qualified to opine on Canadian politics
