He's made a few bad calls (attending a DNC fundraiser instead of the Women's March, endorsing someone who turned out to be pretty bad for some Democratic Party position in Florida, not being named Buttigieg) but his Good Dem / Bad Dem tally is still very very heavily balanced on the side of the angels.

(And lol if anyone actually turns against Randy Bryce for saying the words "america is already great".)

I'm the one who posted Randy's post and I just thought it was something funny to laugh at. I doubt anyone is fickle enough to dislike Randy over a FB post.

Also bip is concern trolling over Keith and shouldn't be taken seriously.

What irks me most is the "never go after republicans thing"

The other stuff is understandable as typical old, territorial idiot antics, but what is with establishment dems being so completely terrified of going after republicans? There's always this undercurrent of apprehension of what The Right Wing Media will say about you if you say "actually taxes do good things", but actual refusal to acknowledge your ideological foes in any way, while they eviscerate you in public, might have something to do with the whole idea that the right is better at messaging.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I see them go after Trump but they seem reluctant to go for republicans, in general. Tho when Hillary tried, she went indirectly via the deplorable thing, hosed it up, and then spent weeks backpeddling so uh hm.

tho tbf you are right that they do go after the Republicans are a sort of boogyman group, so they can try to get people to vote for them, without ever stating policy. But, in my defense, their attacks generally suck poo poo, in comparison to the right's ability to define what a Real American is via attacks on the loony left. because When They Go Low We Go High is actually dumb, and bad.

I will admit, the prequels are real fuzzy and I can't bring myself to even feel like a bad nerd over it. Fine. Obi-Wan could have saved her. Or the Jedi Council could have pretended to care about their newest ward. Or literally anyone could have said 'Hey, we're a fantastically wealthy interstellar Republic with semi-sentient robot laborers coming out of our rear end, maybe human/sentient slavery is, in fact, bad and we should trade one of our many, many droids for this enslaved human'

I'm real mad about Star Wars apparently.

assumption 1: being republican is electorally successful
assumption 2: being not-republican is electorally successful

conclusion: you want to be just not-republican enough that you win elections while drawing the maximum amount from each group. the more not-republican you are the less you appeal to republican voters

This is exactly why I wasn't too excited about Hillary being "the first woman president". It was basically just nepotism.

Since the Republicans went all death-culty, there's this myth that there's this untapped "Republican But Not Insane" population that we can lure over to the D column without somehow alienating those whose principles aren't at home to anything even remotely conservative because, hey where else are they gonna go, huh? Huh? Huh?
