(62,325 posts)were able to use the Bush card. And in 2008 those eight years of Bush are partly what drew so many people to the polls. We thought by winning things would begin to change, all the Bush policies would start being deconstructed.
What happened at first was puzzling to a lot of people, excuses, delays etc. But by NOW WE KNOW what the game is too. That's the part they are out of touch with. People will no longer hold their noses to vote. They are DEMANDING better than that. Playing the 'woman' card isn't working the way they thought. They abused the support we gave them, and I guess they thought they could.
I will say this, if Bernie had not stepped into the race, I would have ignored the whole boring game because it would have meant that nothing would change. And I think that is WHY he decided to run. HE wasn't out of touch, he realized that people were just fed up and many probably wouldn't even bother to vote. And he rightfully believed HE could get those disgusted voters to help elect him.
