its weird tho, since you do have people in the democrat party like John Kerry who have proven themselves to be brave, bold, passionate about things that matter, but when put in front of a camera and told to connect with America, just sort of turn into waffling, indecisive, and ineffectual sods... yet again, like Kerry in 2004. in that case, a lot of blame was put upon the campaign staff and strategists, particularly Bob Shrum, who ran a stilted, cautious campaign centered around incredibly vague messages as opposed to challenging W. on things like abu ghraib. i felt Ms.Clinton's campaign was similarly overly cautious; slow on the defense, unconvincing on the attack.

e: got my lovely latin buzzwords mixed up

Kerry nearly got away with unseating a war time president

Is this your new thing? Posting tweets about how people actually can't stand progressive politicians as a way to defend the huge losses centrism has caused us?

I liked your other gimmick better. You know, when you advocated genocide against economically disadvantaged people.

I have two extremely hot takes I'd like to share before you go on break

First, everybody is trumpeting the whole "nobody got arrested!" thing about the protests over the weekend. Of course they didn't. It was overwhelmingly middle class white women. Arresting them would have looked terrible. The same protests with a bunch of minorities acting the same way and the jails would have been full.

Second, while I'm glad the media is calling Trump on his "alternative facts" I feel like they're really just upset he's so open and brazen about it instead of spoonfeeding them spin. They've been reporting "alternative facts" with a straight face for decades, Trump just doesn't bother being subtle about it.

It's also a really dumb label because a lot of people will just see the word fact. Also yeah, anyone who expected something seriously bad to happen to the women's march besides passive aggression from assholes was frankly delusional. The only worry out of that is that it just ends up cementing suburban liberals' opinions that maybe those minorities should march more peacefully after all.

he could have done so too, but he lost due to going with the strategic advice of a dude that lost the prior seven campaigns he managed. it was an embarrassing failure, in the same vein as Dukakis, and H. Clinton.

just shrugging and saying "well it was a war time president, our loss was actually super good" is not the correct approach to avoiding losing more in the future. And I worry the same excuse finding mentality will prevail at the DNC.

Trump was right, the MSM is full of fake news! I'll toxx right now that Hillary Clinton's name will never again appear on a ballot unless Trump creates a national ballot referendum that says "Should Hillary Clinton go to Jail?" (vote yes!)

If they want to hang around the DNC and play elder statesman that's fine, as long as the people in charge have the good sense to ignore her.
