        I mean look up Obama’s presidential campaign. He flipped red states and won blue states by running on a progressive anti status quo platform, and in doing so wiped the floor with the Republican candidate.

          Why would I look it up when I lived through it already. He ran a fairly standard Democratic campaign.

            Huh??? Okay you gotta be shitting me. I’m not American so while I know that’s impossible but I can’t really refute their personal experience so can an American around here do it?

            I’ll just quote this:

            Many pundits have considered Obama’s 2008 campaign to be one of the greatest political underdog stories in U.S. history.[9][10] The campaign is credited for shifting the status quo of the Democratic platform, especially on issues such as healthcare reform.
