Ok. I can see that. Why did they sit on their hands while Republicans gerrymandered everything they could get their hands on, for instance.

maybe we should focus on making those 400 DNC members progressives, instead of anointing a progressive figurehead who has to publicly throw other progressives under the bus in order to be accepted by the establishment

Am working on it but it's not gonna happen in time for the DNC chair election, although I would also like to see him not throwing us under the bus as we try god damnnit

Holy poo poo a quarter of Democrats would be "excited" by a third Clinton run.

Yes, the democrats have flat given up in a lot of states. The state of the party is shameful, and anyone who says otherwise is living in denial. We can't afford to just sit in a few cities and pretend everything's fine. They've lost the local and state government battles for decades and influential spokespeople don't seem to get that from the ground fuckin' up democrats need to get their asses in gear and do actual politics work.

If you're doing a pot-kettle-black thing I'll have you know I've posted my frustrations about getting involved in my local democratic party a bunch and that's what led me to that post

If that's a "wow even in NY" post we're on the same page here, cause it's ridiculous at how hard it is to get officially involved, it's easier in NYC to find some other organization like the New Kings Dems than it is to get involved with the party.

You hit the nail on the head the second time.

There is no excuse, NYC is bathing in cash and they are running a political party like a failing corner deli.

Then they trot out loving Bloomberg during the DNC convention...

let me amend that: it was worth watching, right?


it would be indefensible of me to say that they didn't flub the landing. They flubbed it loving HARD. The structure for these mystery shows is either: 1)she's revealed as a fraud, but it turns out she actually isn't! or 2) she's revealed to be real, but then is actually a fraud. They ended up doing some weird mixture of mostly neither of those. I think they had a plan for the "movements" to end up being some elaborate fight choreography for the big finale, but then realized it was way too complicated and just settled for "it distracts the shooter". and so it sucked! sucked!


But goddamn it was so well made and beautiful and raised cool metaphysical questions, which automatically makes it better than 90% of the other real garbage rear end shows out there

I agree with this post.

Public Service Announcement: Do not watch netflix original The OA. If you choose to ignore this advice and watch The OA, please turn it off after episode 7 and make up your own ending, because literally anything you could come up with would be better than the audiovisual reaming out I just endured.
