The returns Tuesday also amounted to a historic rebuke of the Democratic Party from the white blue-collar voters who had formed the party base from the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt to Mr. Clinton’s. Yet Mrs. Clinton and her advisers had taken for granted that states like Michigan and Wisconsin would stick with a Democratic nominee, and that she could repeat Mr. Obama’s strategy of mobilizing the party’s ascendant liberal coalition rather than pursuing a more moderate course like her husband did 24 years ago.
“Moderate course?” What, moderately racist? Moderately laissez-faire capitalist? No, no, New York Times, you don’t get to do that now. Your mongering of WhitewateMonicEmaiGhazi bullshit helped get us to this place. And now you want to lie about how Clinton wasn’t moderate enough? Fuck you. Try finding an actual journalistic operating model that benefits the public. Fie upon you who dare make worse the problems that got us to this place.
