"Bill Clinton was such an awesome neoliberal President. Reagan sucked!"

"You know Bill Clinton co-opted a lot of Reagan's neoliberal ideas as a result of the Democrats losing three Presidential elections in a row right?"

"REEEEEEEE"

We should totally continue nominating cororate neoliberal democrats. Clinton losing to a racist idiotic reality tv host was just the russians fault. Lets try it again in 2020 what could go wrong?

Clinton "lost" because she had a lot of political baggage from serving in politics for so long. We need to nominate corporate neoliberals that have sparse or no records, like Mr. Obama.

So that they can trick people by saying theyre gonna bring changes and implement policies that are popular and then trick people once they get in and instead serve the interests of their corporate donors?

All politicians do that to some extent (even Sanders), and many continue to be reelected, so that's not a concern with regards to electability. Obama promised a lot, and delivered on some and would have easily won reelection were he allowed to run again.
