Comment on Some folks might call me a dreamer

It just wasn’t enough, wasn’t right for that moment, etc… etc… and arguably helped give us Trump again, though I think that was likely coming regardless.

What he was doing in and of itself wasn’t bad, but it was ignoring the shrinking enthusiasm of the democratic base and the growing of the maga rhetoric. It reinforces the pendulum effect of letting the right wing swing back instead of giving the left a whole new momentum.

Agreed. I just don’t think he was even capable of that kind of energy injection. He built a great team though. For whatever little that’s worth.
