democrats being literal communists instead of meekly denying whatever reason the republicans are calling them communists this week would be a marked improvement, as they would actually espouse some sort of ideology.

I confess I don't know why you think this--Pelosi had next to no involvement in Clinton's campaign, and her job isn't to win elections, it's to run the House Democratic caucus. What I'm saying is Pelosi and the useless officials who perpetually keep losing and negotiating with honest-to-god fascists should be removed if we want to mount any kind of credible defense.

https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/831559246659600388 I don't remember seeing Bernie go in on all the Russia stuff like all the Dems did after the election. The Senate seems pretty unhappy with Trump in general right now.

what's funny is a lot of the Class of 2006 Dems blamed Pelosi for the 2010 wipeout for moving the party too far left Jason Altmire was big on this line of criticism

Dems are the party of the status quo. Did republicans bring back slavery last term? Expect dems to defend it to the death this term

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/831559246659600388 The "Russia literally stole the election" narrative was just another way to say "our perfect unassailable abuela is beyond all criticism" so of course he wasn't on board with that but that doesn't mean Trump's Russian ties aren't worrying as all gently caress going forward. They're two different things, really.

Proud Christian Mom posted:It's her inability to stfu about gun control that gets purple state Dems massacred Because surely if Nancy Pelosi hadn't talked about gun control, Republicans never would have brought it up. I don't disagree that Pelosi herself is emblematic of the old way, but I dispute the idea that she would fight it if the party decided to go full Bernie. Find me someone else in the House who can run the Democratic caucus as well as she has done for the past, like, 11 years. Fritz Coldcockin has issued a correction as of 18:54 on Feb 14, 2017 |

She isn't perfect and I have no interest in her being on camera in general and I do think someone should probably replace her in the near future but she is basically fine as a placeholder and it isn't her fault Democrats are losing anything

To be honest the current iteration of capitalism in the United States is a complete joke and an utter disgrace, it has nothing to do with Dems being capitalists. The Bad Dems are basically upset Sanders called them out as being spineless sycophants who protect corporate profits instead of serving the public interest so they called him into the safe space so they can cry about it. I hope he told them to shut the gently caress up and called them out on even more poo poo.

It's always been this iteration, there aren't different versions of genocidal crony-predatory-capitalism. Dem presidents like Bill and Obama just did a good job of hiding it. Pelosi and her ilk swear allegiance to this system.
