    The pattern seems plain as day to me: change candidates consistently outperform the polls.

      This has been pretty clear for a while now. It’s disappointing that the D platform lately has been solidly status quo.

      The last real Democratic presidential candidate with great turnout was Obama (the first time) with his platform of “hope and change”. Trump even won on his own twisted version of that with “drain the swamp”. Keeping the status quo is a losing platform these days
