What if I disagree with the track record, though. Say, if I think bankers should have gone to jail and homeowners helped?

Agreed! But I get where Perez is coming from, in accepting corporate money. In our current campaign finance system, the Dems need it.

I'm not against Perez. Seems like a labor guy, a left guy, I've got no beef with him.

There are big problems that pre-date Trump, of which he's a symptom. I accept supporting mainstream Dems is necessary...

...but I hope there will be some acknowledgment of those issues and better plans for them when/if Dems again have power.

Me too! The bailout was very poorly carried out. Should have included big infrastructure projects. Still angry they were scuttled.

I agree w. left goals, but you need to build a broad based coalition to sustain them. People hated ObamaCare bc Fox told them to.

I think, if we disagree, it's on whether Dem politicians share left goals but were stymied, or don't share them at all.

My working assumptiom is that most Dems are more in tune with donors than voters, and donors have rich people's priorities.

that's a problem w the whole campaign finance system. Dems can't afford to turn their backs on it. Honestly, I don't see a way out rn

I don't either, but I reject calls to just be quiet and support Dems because they're not Trump.

The one thing I have in common with Trump voters is massive anger and feelings of impotence at the current political system

most ppl in the country feel that way, tbh. But we need to channel it, and challenge Dems to do a better job at political strategy.
