29. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we should blame for Donald Trump.

28. The Democratic self-diagnosis will be just as self-flattering and hilariously detached from reality as the post-Romney GOP one was.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
27. But that won't change reality: the Democratic leadership will be to blame for running a candidate who embodies what voters want to fix.

26. Not "will," since they have already been doing it for months; Gopnik and the liberal chorus from this week are just the latest.

25. They will try frantically to blame it on the only left candidate who made the roots of the problem the central issue of his campaign.

24. ...the Democratic elite is equally insulated from reality, and only offers solutions geared to a small, privileged slice of the country.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
23. Of course, GOP elites will be to blame, but we already accept their cynicism and horribleness. What we won't have accepted is that...
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
22. And one side ran a candidate that spoke to some of those needs, while the Democrats ran the very personification of that insiders' club.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
21. It will be because both parties are vehicles of elite wagon-circling that have systematically shut out the needs of the electorate.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
20. But if he does, it will not be because the Democratic left pushed for a better candidate.

19. I don't think Trump will win. Centrist voters will break for HRC, and so, overwhelmingly, will Democratic voters. There is no "crisis."
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
18. But even that is absurd, because you know what beat fascism? European socialists and the Soviet Union.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
17. By speciously connecting our moment to the one when their own ideology was supposedly what saved European civilization.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
16. What Gopnik is doing, intentionally or not, is helping centrist cultural elites feel heroic about their attachment to the broken system.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
15. So it needs external enemies - right-wing demagogues and sexist BernieBros - to give it energy, some moral reason to exist.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
14. Liberalism has no natural source of support besides wealth; it is the philosophy of "maybe later" and "that's too much to ask.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
13. Actually, liberalism is normalizing and kowtowing to the far right with its dogged defense of an increasingly right-wing "normal."

12. Then the periodic "threat" of "fascism" can be heroically "defeated" by liberalism, and the status quo presented as a victory.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
11. Liberals deeply need the far right to scare people into settling for the status quo.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
10. So what we end up with is ideological enforcement from the center cloaked in histrionic anti-fascism.

9. Nevermind that the constitution itself was designed to be undemocratic, and has been made more so in various ways.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
8. There's also the issue of Gopnik's utterly circular nationalism: America is democratic because it has a great constitution!
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
7. ...and an executive with virtually unchecked assassination powers.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
6. Despite the shredding thereof by the last two presidents, the massive growth of secret courts and undeclared wars...
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
5. The other silliness Gopnik recycles is the notion that Trump uniquely threatens the rule of the constitution.

4. Surveys have shown the entire primary that an overwhelming majority of Sanders supporters are not hostile to Clinton.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
3. The "communists attacking the center" analogy is especially weak. Despite the animosity, the Democratic Party is not splitting.
— $David Sessions ???? (@davidsess) May 21, 2016
2. Aside from some superficial literary gloss, it adds nothing to the flimsy historical analogies pundits have been peddling for months.
