She owns. I checked her facebook page and it's full of Correct the Record posters blaming her for Clinton losing and it's hilarious to see her shut them down.

I think the main reason for the average centrist Dem being ideologically broke brained is that after Bernie showed that you could be a socialist in public, enough people started to self-identify or come out as being a group left of Center-Liberals. The group existed beforehand but always acted as the junior partner to the third-way Dems because they either didn't realize that their interests weren't in the same place or that recognized they were outnumbered and it was the lesser of two evils. Now that there's a societally-recognized distinction between the two both in economic policy (social democrat/rad-socialist vs. neoliberal) and political organization/ideal (mass politics vs. technocratic elite), the Left and Center are now speaking with separate voices in culture and politics. The people who identify with the Old Guard are freaking out because suddenly they're surrounded by an enemy within the ranks who used to be a loyal nothing but suddenly mutated into a different ideology overnight.

This is a good post.

Reminder that liberals are so loving terrified of talking about class and so scared of political change that they let a billionaire crazy person lie his way into being a champion of the American worker lmao

The sad thing is the vast majority of these liberals have cushy white collar jobs and they live in nice neighborhoods and towns. Their way of life isn't going to change much, if at all, under trump.

It's poor people and minorities who will bear the brunt of the GOP turbofucking this country with their insane bills.

I kept trying to say that this is why Beshear was picked to give the response. Successful governor of a red state where Obamacare did really well. Also, he sounded like the Hyperchicken from Futurama.

Staging for those goddamn things is always bad. Whether it's Mr. Jindal's Neighborhood, Rubio and the water bottle, Charles Boustany looking like he was recently stuffed, or this, I've never seen a response that was inspiring or good. They are career-killers. Better to use someone who doesn't have any stake in the Democratic Party's future to deliver it without incident and without any verbal gaffes people will remember.

Didn't "Bernie's health care plan in VT", actually written by someone else because Bernie is of course a federal lawmaker rather than a state one, only fail because the federal government (Obama's administration) needed to give it funding? And wouldn't a plan like that need to be operating on a larger scale anyway because Vermont doesn't have enough rich people to eat?

yall should really separate the important part of what van jones says "if he continues to do that we have him for 8 years", essentially, which is true. if he can gently caress the poor and pull that horseshit off, yeah, he will be 100%
