i went to grad school with an idiot who got hired by the cia. there was a mosque near the campus and he'd always cross the street so he wouldn't be walking near it because he was afraid they would kill him. they operated an awesome bbq restaurant next door and he'd freak out anytime post-conference dinners would be held there because they might "poison his food".

imagine if you will an organization staffed by the failsons and daughters of the elite, each convinced they are smarter than everyone else in the room, with no oversight and completely unwilling to accept any responsibility

This party has no room for pointless purity testing. These neoliberals need to shut up and vote for the berniebros.

quote:

Trump has yet to make a nomination, but his firing of former FBI Director James Comey and his comments about Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein may lead an observer to believe he expects political fealty, if not loyalty, from his top prosecutors.

Just who could Trump appoint that might fit that bill? Among the names mentioned as a potential nominee: Brady Toensing, the attorney who proved his dedication as Trump’s Vermont campaign chairman.

This is the most confusing take

he also is on a personal crusade to destroy sanders

brady toensing is the person who sent the justice department a letter alleging that jane sanders committed bank fraud, and he also is on a personal crusade to destroy sanders, thus if he was appointed by trump he would almost certainly move to indict

the schism/faction thing in the party is irrevocable, at this point... there's not going to be any dem electoral victories for the near future bc so many berdies won't vote for bad dems anymore while lanyards are sticking with their corporate-donors-and-pragmatic-baby-steps-are-just-fine-and-who-needs-single-payer-anyway scripts.

I guess some of the congressional races in 2018 will garner votes from both types of dems, especially where there aren't primary contests, but the next presidential race is prolly a lost cause. Warren & Franken are kinda feet-in-both-camps (rather, they're perceived that way) but there's no way Perez et al. are gonna turn their trite pap and trump-bad reflexes into a united and victorious party in the next few years.

THANKS, OBERNIE

Bip Roberts posted:

It doesn't work that way though. If you want leftist policy from the left leaning party in the US you need people supporting that policy to win first. If everyone loses that proves nothing.

Okay, primary all centrist dems instead.

It's not a circular firing squad anymore, yeah. It's two armies having a civil war with each other while a foreign invader sacks their capitol. It's probably best for the Democratic party that it ends sooner than later. Since the centrists are inevitably going to lose, they really should have just surrendered after losing to Trump.
