There Will Never Be Another Bill Clinton Or Barack Obama

As we enter into 2024, for what is bound to be a contentious election cycle, there is one simple fact that needs to be addressed: Never again will the Democrats have another Bill Clinton or Barack Obama; men who, however you feel about them, were nonetheless popular, capable of energizing a thoroughly demoralized and disinterested political base. We will never see their like again.

A Brief Background

For the much of the 20th century, the Democrats and Republicans would trade the White House back and forth every eight years; there were a few outliers to be sure, but for the most part, if a Democrat just finished eight years in office, you could expect a Republican the next time around, and vice versa. Round and round the electoral carousel would go, and in 1980, one Ronald Reagan got his chance to ride it, in one of the largest landslides in United States electoral history. In 1984, he won again, by an even larger margin this time. And as 1988 rolled around, there were likely many on both sides who expected a Republican to get off the carousel, and for a Democrat to get on.

That didn't happen.

In 1988, Reagan's Vice President, George Bush (the first one) absolutely trounced Democrat Mike Dukakis. This had not happened in a non-wartime setting since the 20's: Two Presidents in a row belonging to the same political party. It was then that the Democrats had their "Come to Jesus" moment. What worked in the past clearly wasn't going to work the next time around. They needed something new, something fresh. And that something was the governor of the state of Arkansas, a man named William Jefferson Clinton.

Bill Clinton

Clinton did not come from a Washington background. He was a political outsider, young and charismatic. He had a movement and a message. He was a genius at political fundraising. People were, for the first time in a long time, excited to vote for a candidate. And Clinton won handily in 1992, unseating an incumbent President, something that rarely ever happened. He won again in 1996, by a larger margin than he had the first time.

America was riding high as the 90's drew to a close, and much of that, rightly or not, was attributed to Clinton. And as the 2000 election loomed on the horizon, the Democrats needed to pick his replacement. And who did they choose? Albert Gore, Jr.

Whereas Clinton was viewed as a young upstart when he made his run, Gore was very much a name in Washington even before he was chosen to be Clinton's running mate. He had served in Congress for almost two decades by that point, and was the son of a prominent politician who had also served for several decades. Whereas Clinton was viewed as hip and charismatic, Gore had a reputation for being stuffy, often described as being robotic. And which is more, Gore tried during his run to distance himself from Clinton; while it seemed like a good idea to distance yourself from someone who is mired in scandal, it likely hurt Gore's odds to distance himself from the man who many, rightly or not, attributed the booming economy of the 90's to.

However you feel about what went down in 2000, George W. Bush became the President. He won again in 2004, defeating John Kerry, another man who had a long history in politics, and whom voters were hardly excited for. What worked in the past clearly wasn't going to work the next time around. They needed something new, something fresh. And that something was a freshman senator from Illinois, a man named Barack Hussein Obama.

Barack Obama

Obama did not come from a Washington background. He was a political outsider, young and charismatic. He had a movement and a message. He was a genius at political fundraising. People were, for the first time in a long time, excited to vote for a candidate. And he won handily in 2008, as many young people engaged with the political process for the first time. He won again in 2012; not by quite as wide a margin, but still quite comfortably so.

Young Americans were politically engaged. They felt hopeful for the future, ready to keep the Hope and Change train rolling. And as the 2016 election loomed on the horizon, the Democrats needed to pick his replacement. And who did they choose? Hillary Clinton.

Obama had been a fresh face in the political scene; Hillary Clinton had been in the public eye in a national political sense since the early 90's. Obama was viewed as fresh and new; Clinton was famous for her scandals, and for being tied to the scandals of her husband. Obama was charismatic; Clinton was viewed as being radically out of touch with anyone who wasn't a coastal elite. Whereas Obama had a movement and a message behind his campaign and his terms in office, Clinton had nothing beyond "First Woman President" and "It's My Turn, Goddammit". Even when the primary voters did not want her, the Democratic National Committee made sure that her name was on the ballot in November; the Establishment wanted an Establishment candidate.

The Republicans, meanwhile, chose Donald J. Trump: A political outsider with a movement and a message, a singularity of charisma, who was a genius at political fundraising. However you feel about what went down in 2016, Trump became the President. The next several years were marked with conflict, but also with a booming economy. Trump had a deeply loyal base, and was viewed as someone who could fight the corruption in Washington. As 2020 reared its head, the Democrats needed someone who could take on this titan. And who did they pick? Joe Biden.

Joe Biden

If Hillary Clinton was Establishment, Joe Biden was

ESTABLISHMENT,

bold, italicized, triple-underlined, with the "E" in 72-point font. This was a man who had been in professional politics for half a century at that point. He was wildly unpopular, with all the personal charisma of a wet dishrag. He rambled incoherently, reminding many of nothing quite so much as a dementia patient. He was confrontational with potential voters, he often made casually racist remarks, his prior run for President in 1988 was derailed due to scandal. There was not a single person who was excited about the idea of a Biden White House.

This time, the Democrats tried a different strategy: Rather than giving you reasons to vote for Biden, they instead went whole hog on why you should vote against Trump: Trump was a fascist, Trump was a racist, if Trump was elected to a second term then everyone in America who wasn't a straight white Christian male would be rounded up and summarily executed. For months and months on end, "Vote Blue No Matter Who" was the rallying cry, accompanied by wild, apocalyptic predictions about a second term of Trump.

"Who cares if you don't like Biden?" was the message, "You NEED to vote for him! Or else you are literally voting for genocide!"

"Who cares if you don't like Biden?" was the message, "You NEED to vote for him! Or else there will be right-wing death squads!"

"Who cares if you don't like Biden?" was the message, "You NEED to vote for him! Or else it will be literally the end of human civilization!"

However you feel about what went down in 2020, Biden was now in the White House. And the political future of the Democratic Party was now carved in stone.

What If...?

Imagine a world where Trump got a second term in 2020. As 2024 rolled around, the Democrats would have to have another "Come to Jesus" moment, lest the Republicans gain another term in office. They would need to find another young, charismatic political outsider with a movement and a message, someone who could energize a thoroughly demoralized and disinterested voter base. Someone that people would be excited to vote for.

But what 2020 proved to the DNC, beyond all doubt, is that they don't need to do that anymore. They have found a strategy that works, regardless of who they're running. The days of the Outsider, wild and unpredictable, are over. No longer will somebody come from the outside, promising to upset the apple cart. The Establishment will only entrench itself further, putting up candidates that nobody, outside of a small cabal of Beltway insiders, actually wants. All they need to do is proclaim, evidence optional, that the Other Guy is actively and willfully malicious, that the entire Republican Party actively and willfully wants to murder anyone Different, and that the only way to Save Humanity is to Vote Blue No Matter Who. This is the Most Important Election In History, they say. If you don't Vote Blue, then there will Never Be Elections Again. It will be the End Of The World. There will be triple-Nazis goose-stepping down every Main Street in America before the ink on the ballots is even dry.

You will never see another progressive, liberal Democrat get within a country mile of the White House ever again. You will get what the DNC wants, and you will just have to live with that.

There will never be another Bill Clinton or Barack Obama, ever again.

And it is your fault.
