2016 Dems were a status quo party that thought things were basically fine in the face of overwhelming evidence that things are actually not fine at all. My big worry is that 2017/2018 Dems will be largely the same just with revised marketing slogans that will dead cat bounce their way back into thinking that they Found the Message while everything continues to be not fine at all.

I don't know, I think the one thing that everyone can agree on right now is that things are very much not fine.

The more pressing problem will be whether the Democrats campaign on anything other than IT'S ALL TRUMP'S FAULT and LET'S RETURN TO THE GLORY DAYS OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION or whether we'll acknowledge that the U.S. has problems that are more than about a month old.

As for Hillary? I'm over her. She's the past. She's dead to me. Look ahead.

yeah i've been slightly right of center since pretty much 2010, but the difference is i shifted from left of center rather than from far right. i've always been registered as an independent because i've always hated the power the social conservative faction of the republican party has and i also hate the fiscally irresponsible part of the democratic party. like i am down af with most of the social programs on a progressive agenda but every time people stop talking before they say how they're realistically going to pay for it i just want to punch someone

Oh hey there 12 years ago me if you want to get a head start we're communist and stockpiling ammunition now.

Is this where you kick CEOs in the back until they give us all their money?

Because I'd be down with that.

well if we're going to normalize redefining words like "facts" that'd be a pretty good redefinition of kickback :getin:

Sorry, filling those potholes would be fiscally irresponsible. We'd have to make a CEO pay taxes, and what then?

Allowing taxes to return to their historic rates = fiscal irresponsibility

Gonna repeat what I've been saying for two days: if this position doesn't matter, like at all, why not give it to Ellison as a gesture of goodwill, to help repair the factional rift

why couldn't they just do this one little tiny thing

In the defense of Perez, he didn't have to give the deputy job to Ellison but he did as a gesture of goodwill to help repair the factional rift.

This is the real answer.

If there's going to be a leftist uprising, it will have to come outside of the DNC, the way the right wing upraising was created outside of the GOP. It was outside interest groups that started propping up candidates in local and state races that helped the GOP get into this position.
