I agree. Ever since Donnie was selected by the EC, there has been lots of concern-trolling in that vein: the Democratic Party needs to move even further to the right and "reach out" to those white people suffering "economic anxiety" (racism) and abandon "identity politics" (meaning abandon all principles). 


I think that's nonsense. The cons cheat, constantly. But even with that, Democrats still had gains in both houses and even with a less-than-stellar candidate like Clinton, the Democratic Party led by 3 million votes. 


Also the popularity of Sanders shows the huge support that the left actually has. We. We need the Democrats to start representing the progressive majority in this country and stop listening to the donor class and the concern trolls.
