it's still kinda hard to believe that centrists had $1.2billion, an overwhelming spending advantage, and still managed to flub the election

they had music videos with celebrities dancing and singing their praises! the centrists were supposed to be supremely electable and they were gonna get all the soft-republicans! what happened?

It's still hilarious how that one guy from HIllary's campaign was saying that disillusioned Romney voters were the way forward after Clinton lost and accidentally revealed that this bullshit ad polled really well with them.

It's very easy to believe they lost; they spent all that money telling people to vote for conservatives, and the conservatives won. Mission accomplished! :toot:

Remember that People's Platform I mentioned earlier? Nina Turner tried to deliver a petition on it to the DNC and was blocked by a barricade and security. Excuse was given that it was a fire marshal order and that people were restricted from access. It's kind of hilarious that when you watch video on it you can see people coming and going. Nina turn is an actual member of the DNC and former Ohio senator. She was supposed to speak at the last convention to introduce Sanders and it was all set, but the DNC last minute pulled her from the itinerary, most likely because she refused to back Clinton.

Peachfart posted:

This "full communism now" stuff is another example of an argument commonly used by stupid liberals who confuse "anything to the left of the status quo" with "literally Stalin."

edit: The problem is that you can't really argue with people like this, because they know in their heart of hearts that the left is full of racists (despite statistics proving this wrong). You can't persuade them otherwise, because they'll perceive any counterargument as "someone who knows they're guilty flailing around."

It's all they have left. Corporate dems can't win any arguments with the left on scientific grounds, or economic grounds, or even moral grounds. For a while they could argue on pragmatic grounds that they're the only ones who can beat conservatives, but now that they've failed by their own standards all they have left is "well you lost the primary :smugdog:"

Also they're fine with conservatives winning because that means low taxes, so a Trump presidency forever is still an acceptable outcome compared with a top tax rate of 42%

isn't it odd how idiotic centrists like yronic heroism and peachfart are saying we should suppport centrists cause they know how to win? maybe they didn't get the memo that centrists are so zen now they've moved past winning

quote:


House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Sunday said it is “unimportant” for Democrats to win the midterm elections in 2018.

During an appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” host Chris Wallace asked Pelosi to estimate the chances that Democrats win back the lower chamber back in 2018 and whether she would run again for speaker if they did.

“That’s so unimportant. What is important is that we have the lively debate on a better deal,” Pelosi said.

“Better pay. Better jobs and a better future. And that’s what we look forward to having. And we have unity in our party. You saw it with the fight on the Affordable Care Act in the House and in the Senate."

Wallace during the interview also asked Pelosi if Democrats need newer leaders, noting that the members of her party’s House leadership are all over 75.

“I am a master legislator. I know the budget to the n-th degree. I know the motivation of people,” responded Pelosi, who has faced criticism from some in her party recently.

“I respect the people who are in Congress. I think this is a great moment for those of us who understand what is at stake with the Affordable Care Act.”

“So I feel very confident about the support that I have in my caucus. I have never not been opposed within my caucus,” Pelosi added.

Democrats sought to make several special elections earlier this year a referendum on President Trump's first several months in office, but Republicans managed to hold onto all of the seats vacated by the president's Cabinet nominees.

at least leftists are gonna try to win in 2018 :smug:
