Can someone more knowledgeable please explain why the Lumbee Tribe was not granted federal recognition in 2012 (The last time dems won the majority of their votes)? Apparently they've been fighting for recognition and the DJT promised he would do it and they supported him. What gives here dems?
They helped Trump take back the White House. The rewards have come swiftly. | CNN Politics
Trump’s return to power was achieved in part through an unorthodox coalition-building strategy. He courted groups who might’ve been overlooked by Republican candidates. Many of them are benefiting now...

Since POTUS can now do what they want, I'd love a dem running for President to say, "If I'm President I will end Citizens United on Day 1. I will end dark money in politics, limit max contributions from individuals and corp. at $3,300, end all gerrymandering and return elections to the people".

Since Presidents can do whatever they want now, the next democrat who wins the presidency should put forth an executive order to end Citizens United. Sign it on TV and explain in plain language loudly and proudly why it kills politics and progress on both sides of the aisle.

Where is Jill Stein? Where is Cornel West? If either was serious about building a strong movement they'd be out right now, 4 YEARS BEFORE THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, using their fame to organize for the future. But they aren't serious. They just want to disrupt while having no workable plan.

What is the appeal of the modern day GOP to working class voters? Seriously, what have they delivered for the average citizen? I have seen about 100 think pieces describing what is wrong with the democratic party but I see very little (If any) real analysis about what the GOP offers and delivers.

Look at this article from 2013. These 3 used to be among the most extreme elected republicans. Now? They are middle of the road extremist republicans AT BEST!!! We hear dems are too left, but ALMOST NO serious discussion from the professional punditry class about the GOP moving too far right.
