The left loves nothing more than splitting into smaller and smaller factions over petty disputes. It is their raison d'être. Forget worker's and civil rights, they crave balkanization more than any of that.

makes sense, i've noticed that over the shift in names for centerists from "centerists" to "neoliberals" to just "liberals"

He's a thin skinned piss baby, but last time he went he got mad and ran for president. I don't want to imagine what he'd do with his anger now that he's actually president. Maybe this is actually externally imposed self restraint?

I don't think that's him speaking, either. A lot of places were going to boycott the dinner before this week's events regardless, so now Trump is basically cancelling the whole reason for it because now he's really pissed off the media and they're out for blood.

loooooooool at Trump not going to the Correspondent Dinner. He's basically a still alive Carrie, still shook about his Prom.

This has to be the first time he's stepping away from something to get him attention. Something is up, he or his little gang of thugs is scared.

He's okay.

Perez reached out to Ellison, which shows he's at least smarter than DWS. Now if he can get money to the right places and get the 50-state strategy back up and going for a possible 2006-like wave, then that's what we need. As a Democratic voter I'm more worried about the party running for every election instead of handing states over to the Republicans. That's our main focus.

You see similar-ish things on the right. Buisness wing just wants zero taxes and regulation, religious wing wants christian theocracy, alt-right wants a white nationalist state. Its just their purposes don't necessarily compete that often. You could have a white christian state with zero taxes (not actually but you know what I mean) so they don't have to work against eachother that often.

The real strength they have is patience. The christian right will elect endless business shitbirds that only ever gently caress over workers if they are willing to give a few piecemeal attacks against abortion. The left will not do the same.

I mean unless something insane happens... Which can and will happen during the Presidency of Donald J Trump.

Everyone in the house is up for election every 2 years Montasque, please learn how the elections work before we get to the hottakes about who's gonna win.

they use faulty interpretations of jewish laws to hurt non-whites under the guise of god and christ

Mid term elections are always bad for the democracts. But thats usually up to lack of voter turnout, and with the Trump in power and anger at a high point maybe people will come out.

historically speaking, mid term elections are just bad for the party in power. 1998/2002 being the notable exceptions to this rule.

I kinda agree? Making it about economic issues rather than just anti-Trump seems more like a sure thing (haha whatever).

Yeah maybe (definitely) I'm dumb but aren't they basically saying that becoming the new Party Of No No No is a bad idea and that they'd rather be the Party Of No, And Instead This

That doesn't mean collaborate, it means don't stop at 'no' and offer alternatives

Right? :ohdear:
