Zeg, there's more to British elections than who ends up as prime minister, and taking away the Tories' outright majority when the reason they held the election at all was to increase it was a victory.

Bernie's primary campaign was not a victory obv because it had exactly one goal, to get him the nomination, and it did not achieve that. But that is not relevant to the question of the British election.

That's great but right now is a pretty dumb time to schedule a victory parade.

actually, its other goal was to push hillary left. that still failed because hillary is an idiot and wanted republican voters, not leftists or labor activitists

It pushed the electorate left pretty well, except for a small part of it that now appears to think progressivism is actually fascism, but as soon as someone is nominated to appeal to everyone else they'll fall in line because that's all they know how to do.

hillary was so happy when she thought trump was so awful that republicans were turned off by him

that's why she rooted around for republican endorsements, she thought she could eat the "reasonable" portion of the republican base, the republicans would become unelectable extremists, and dems would never have to look leftward again

what an idiot. she caused a rift in the democratic party entirely cause she was high on her supremely electable farts

i think they'll huggle up with compassionate conservatives. just look at r/ess. they embraced a libertarian subreddit cause they thought they'd be better allies than the left (all the while smugging about how the bernie bros fall for infantile ideologies :laffo:)

well, if they were controlled by the blairites this would be rather unsarcastic and realistic. maybe bip roberts is just too used to bad dems and red tories who win an election and then do nothing to advance anything ever?

weird how centrist losses are crushing defeats and progressive losses are actually valiant victories against the system
This would be a more accurate metaphor if Obama had decided to call a combined midterm and presidential election a couple of years in with the democrats riding on a 15 point lead and somehow the VP ended up being Bill Weld.

Considering dems were breaking for Bush like 5 times more than they were voting green in 2000, I'm still worried the hardline centrists might actually legitimately end up preferring a program that's literally "The the gas chamber, go" over voting for anyone to the left of Reagan.

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.
