He isn't gonna pardon a guy who ran in to the arms of Russia, whether it was for self preservation or not.

Maybe pardoning Manning was about undercutting Snowden's self-preservation argument.

there's a huge difference between pardoning someone actually in jail and pardoning a dude who ran to another country instantly and then got work with their government news

Here's the actual story:
Democratic Party rethink gets $20 million injection
Centrist think tank Third Way is launching a campaign to help Democrats reconnect with voters who abandoned them



The takeaway seems to be that they are looking at this election and strongly reconsidering whether or not a strategy based around demographics being destiny is really the right way forward, but that first and foremost we must prevent the Left from having any real say in the party.

From the same writer who gave us Clinton aides blame loss on everything but themselves

lmao what a bunch of failures, they would rather lose on their centrist third way bull poo poo than win with progressive candidates who will win back the working class.

Gotta think positive. They'll spend the $20 million, do the polling, the focus groups, and craft the messaging, and come to the conclusion that no one likes their bullshit policies anymore. "We conclude that our ideology is a big wet turd. Now pay me."

Correct

They would rather have Trump poo poo all over the country for 8 years and run a platform of poo poo but with maybe some corn kernels in it than risk fundamental change to the system. There are no sweet, well paid, lobbying positions at the end of the road for them with progressive change.

Welllll, don't brush off his underlying point too quickly, though. Part of the Clinton camp's dominance over the Democratic Party is because they understand the machinery and levers of power better than their challengers do. That's something that the Sanders camp needs to change in the near future.
