a good way to weed out the dead weight among the dems would be to call a bunch of strategists and such into a room and ask them to come up with a quick, punchy way to summarize an extensive policy package for speech and debate purposes

anyone who answers with "check out my website at double-yew double-yew double-yew dot-" gets dropped into a tank full of piranhas

Also ask them what their strategy would be to campaign against an opponent who lies his rear end off without compunction, if they say "fact check" instead of "competing narrative" they get dropped.

my dude you realize the only good parts of this thread are now in the DPP thread and that this thread is mostly for filterless nihilism posts right?

for real though, and without any irony and with full cognizance of how annoyingly over-promoted and over-praised it can be, you should probably make time to watch the wire at some point because it's a really good television show (that goes off the rails a bit during the final season)
