well they probably shouldn't stand too close to any republicans then

yeah, that's part of it. but mostly they are concerned with reminding people that they aren't the republicans, rather than stand for anything too loudly or firmly.

the worst part is that i can't call it a bad plan, yeah, it's cowardly, but if things keep going the way they are going, as the (correct) perception that the republicans are waging a war against the majority of americans grows, more ed balls will be fired

i can believe that. flynn is super hosed just going by the stuff we know, i am sure there is worse we don't know yet and may never know and i doubt as much as trump likes him, he wont risk himself to save him. my guess is they have offered him immunity or something like it for his help.

Hey so why does the sukk zone hate progressives and like voting against people who clearly have more americans behind them? is it that democratic fallacy of "we need to appeal to centrists or else we can't win"?

The biggest sign that the investigation is going poorly for trump is that trumps lawyer got a lawyer.

politics-wise while republicans can only think short-term democrats can only think long-term

both will gladly gently caress over everyone for personal gain, it's just when that happens is what changes

they're not demanding Medicare for all, or a public option, or Medicaid expansion for all states, or prescription drug price negotiation, or anything. their ask, which they know they will not get, is for Mitch to hold a committee hearing

the democratic party isn't a left wing party. they fear a shift towards left leaning policies (outside of social ones) every bit as much as the republican party does.

flynn was the first victim of the trump team's sole weakness: thinking that trump's reality-defying shield applies to all of them instead of just trump

openly admitting he was working for turkey was not the best plan

continuing demographic shifts and changes in public opinion spell the end of the current democratic party just as surely as the spell the end of the republican party.

the difference is that the republicans are willing to do what they have to do to combat this

it turns out that combating ongoing political shifts requires breaking the law and turning towards fascism.

of course the democratic party could, in one form or another, survive these changes. the republicans on the other hand simply cannot. there isn't any shifting or re-branding they could do.

the republican party is being backed into a corner, and as we all know, cornered animals fight.
