with all due respect, the article is about winning, not about what is right. And I think the current state of affairs demonstrates pretty clearly that, whether we like it or not, Democrats will have to move to the center in order to win. And winning now is essential. Just as you have been arguing with "move-to-the-center" ranters forever, so have the rest of us been dealing with "move-to-the-left" ranters for just as long, having now witnessed them (through Sanders and Nader) install two Republicans in the White House. Either the left wing of the Democratic Party will wake up to reality, or the Party will become even more irrelevant. Half of zero is zero.

Awesome :)

Between her and Ironstache I'm sure one of them can beat Yankovich in the primary. I still think Ironstache's campaign is better but maybe she can hold up in in-person arguments better than he can.


the idea that HRC is "pro-war" was yet another thing you got stink-eye from D&D goons for suggesting last year

guess maybe they should have been trying to get in front of that instead

i feel like the underlying variable is the shittiness of the economy and lack of jobs in poorer regions, since the primary reason people join the military is economic reasons.

remember when people thought trump was antiwar because he was too stupid to realize that the line all elites are expected to toe is that the iraq war was a well-intentioned idea and was initiated for perfectly good reasons and nobody could have foreseen it could go badly

"political capital" is probably best understood as "leverage over other peoples' electoral fortunes"

which is why Obama didn't have any re: healthcare, because what leverage did he have over Lieberman?

e: why, perhaps, "free college" isn't a slam dunk winning issue with the Democratic base, black people.

This is the second time in a week I heard someone say that the base of the Democratic party is an ethnic group that makes up 12% of the electorate.

In politics, the term base refers to a group of voters who almost always support a single party's candidates for elected office. Base voters are very unlikely to vote for the candidate of an opposing party, regardless of the specific views each candidate holds. In the United States, this is typically because high-level candidates must hold the same stances on key issues as a party's base in order to gain the party's nomination and thus be guaranteed ballot access. In the case of legislative elections, base voters often prefer to support their party's candidate against an otherwise appealing opponent in order to strengthen their party's chances of gaining a simple majority, typically the gateway to overarching power, in a legislature.

Clinton did better with black people (89% of 12%) than liberals (on a liberal-moderate-conservative scale) (84% of 26%)

the only group that Clinton outperformed black people in is self-identified Democrats, which would eliminate most of the people who claim that they won't vote for a Democrat until they listen to the base
