why are we changing from 'just shush about guns' to now being pro guns?

You are a joke.

But yeah that has been my stance from the word go, toss the ideals of the third way elites and support policies that actually help the common man. That we beed explicitly pro gun candidates throughout the party

Instead of what you generally argue, which is clinging to the authoritaian, corporatists policies of the third way and abandoning ideals that would make lives better.

Its super ironic coming from you, since werent you always saying how we needed to abandon any leftist ideal, like universal healthcare or more jobs, as being impossible? While also arguing against idelogical purity tests? (obviously just applies to yours, though, if anyone else has a differing opinion that makes you worry.)

You are becoming a parody of yourself.

I'm glad that after a month of introspection about the election the Clinton wing of the party has emerged with a clear and unifying voice about how to proceed.

Blame it on Russia and learn nothing.

all this Russia stuff is probably just psy-ops poo poo. they definitely hacked us, but the impression that they tipped the scales of the election is something they want to project in order to deepen the division between the right and the left

agreed. liberals will think that the president is illegitimate, while conservatives will defend russia and grow to regard them even more as an ally. all of this benefits Putin

they're (dem establishment) also remarkably adamant about not going for things that ARE relevant to national security and aren't visibly anathema to bankers, like the fact that our secretary of state prospect is likely going to send half a trillion in federal money (instead of corporate money) to russia, which is something all parts of the country can be feasibly worried about

Actually, they just want to replace the workforce with automation. They really want to make everything domestically if it's sold here to save that 3% on exporting/importing costs.

automation is, imo, the thing that breaks us finally. either we rise up in a revolution and get slaughtered by the drone weapons of the global capitalist elite or we get bare minimum social programs that keep us in eternal hell poverty until they can think of a better way to get rid of us

She lost her money in the same exact way Trump did though, it is disingenious but also appropriate beause the original claim was disingenious in the same exact way, implying that any amount of money invested in a risky pursuit is lost if that pursuit doesnt pay off and thus a mistake to have spent

What confuses me is that as far as I can tell is that it is the exact same stuff they were talking about before the election - that they thought Russia had hacked everyone but only released stuff damaging to Hillary but suddenly it has blown up and become A THING even though it never gained traction the first time around.

I mean, we should be mad at Russia if they did it but the argument seems to be "They only aired Hillary's dirty laundry instead of everybody's" and therefore the election is invalid and she wins. And that doesn't make any sense.

you're talking about a time of sanity when we all believed that despite the hacking Clinton would still win. now that we're in this future, that no longer applies and people want to center this as the entire reason she lost

again, this is exactly what Russia wants

To be honest, I'm more worried about the next President of the United States effectively telling the CIA to go gently caress themselves than I am about whether some rando on Twitter thinks this should overturn the election.
