As traininthedistance pointed out, part of what's going on is, he's being judged for his actions 20 years ago as if the political environment was the same as it is today. Of course, when Bill Clinton announced his run for the presidency in 1991, not only the Democratic party but the collective left was in the worst shape since 1789. Taking the first steps in the long road back will look unpopular now, when all of the rewards are simply assumed.

This. FF


Yeah, things were so much better after he lost the House for the first time in 40 years after ramming NAFTA though. And then signed lots of right-wing legislation into law.

Just so you guys know, this is why some people don't take the left seriously. The Far-Right is crazy, but the Far-Left lives in this fantasy utopian world that does not exist.

Bill Clinton brought your party back to relevancy.

Lets ask Tom Foley what he thought of that relevancy.

The left was in far worse shape in 1896, 1908, and 1920.

And they were certainly in worse shape after the 1994 elections than in 1992. And the Democrats lost House seats in 1992, and didn't have a change in the Senate.
