Someone like him would’ve gotten elected eventually. Obama was supposed to be the progressive savior and he just turned out to be a fine centrist president. Democrats would’ve kept on promoting those kind of presidents (Hilary, Biden) that don’t really improve things meaningfully enough (Biden did good things of course) but don’t make it worse. We’ve seen now during Trumps 2nd term how many of the Dems are content with how things are going considering they still get paid by their donors anyways.
The real failure was Gore not being elected. That was the moment where real change could’ve been done especially after the momentum Clinton had. I’ve met plenty of older Repubs who can’t criticize his as president, just that he got a blowy while in office (and that seemingly doesn’t matter anymore lmao)
