    Or even right about anything. I have seen his interviews on CNN for the past 20 years and his predictions and strategies have consistently been shit. I still don’t understand why he gets so much air time. Maybe he’s a holdover from the boomers or something but I’ve never understood why he was relevant. As a strategist, he hasn’t exactly crushed it against the worst major political party in (possibly) US history.

      Usually in cases like that, it’s because the person is saying what the oligarchs want to be true.

      He won against the 90’s GoP because there were still a few moderate republicans that hadn’t learned that the party had gone full fascist. Since then the DLC has been a big money cow for the Dems, so they kept him around. Same reason Pelosi was house leader for so long, she brought in the funding fire hose, so she got the top spot.
