Brown and Schatz, probably, but when you're talking about Senate Dems it's a thin sauce.

To be fair, David Yankovich started his campaign a month ago, before Bryce got in the race. He's not a nefarious plot by the DNC to screw with Bryce, he's just an Eric Garland schlub who thought he'd have some fun running against Ryan. As far as I've seen only Adam Parkhomenko is taking him seriously and Parkhomenko is an idiot, so I don't think Bryce has anything to worry about there.

Parkhomenko is an ex-cop who set up the Ready For Hillary PAC even though the Hillary people begged him to stop. There's some fun segments of Shattered about how they promised him and his crew campaign jobs and then reneged on the offer, he threw a fit, so they found some make-work tasks for him buried somewhere.

It's the same one, and if I remember well: they learned it from when twitter had a hashtag on how like sometimes your allies can do messed up things (And thus you shouldn't judge them for not being perfect) and she fessed up to it with that.

An excellent treatment of the past abortive efforts and the ultimate futility of the task is "The Democrats: A Critical History" By Lance Selfa

I'm really at a loss to explain Twitter libs boosting establishment Democrats with these stirring Aaron Sorkin calls to arms. Does the fact that Clinton and Pelosi are successful women just blind them to their flaws? Is it that simplistic?

I don't think gender matters, it's a pure partisan/sunk cost thing with most of them. Any D is good because they've convinced themselves that by virtue of not being as openly hateful and horrible as republicans they're the side of Objective Good. Clinton's welfare poo poo is passed over as the mean republicans FORCING him to do it, Carter's complete lack of political willpower is a cute story about how sweet and nice he must be, Obama's drone war and utter destruction of protections for leakers get glossed over with how cool he was. Clinton and Pelosi aren't failed leaders, they're the good guys fighting the good fight as best they can. It's just a pure and simple complete unwillingness to examine their own team when they have this cartoonish, Mr Burns evil, opposition to point at and go "AT LEAST WE'RE NOT THEM THOUGH".

Giordano was super anti-Hillary through most of 2015 even. He was especially critical of her policies toward Honduras / Central America. I believe he is in ill health or something now. His turnaround was so rapid and complete, just strange to witness.

UltimoDragonQuest posted:It's this and/or straight grifting. In 2008 Marcotte was an Edwards staffer, Giordano loathed Clinton, and bloggers fled Daily Kos for being too mean to Hillary. An astonishing number of people changed once everyone in power endorsed for 2016. It's truly bizarre comparing Clinton's reception in 2008 to 2016. I've been reading Game Change (which seems like mostly gossipy bullshit but I got it cheap at a library sale) and all the criticisms Dems had of her back then mysteriously disappeared after that election.
