Paying attention to #Resist twitter is great if you love wasting time breaking your brain. You would think like all the other Extremely Online communities they would have some real world presence but nope. Not even the establishment toadies Iv hung with like Neera or Joy Reid lol

Joy Reid went from BernieBro to "Soviet Yugoslavia hacked the election" in a matter of a couple years. It doesn't make her any more respectable, but she's clearly being brokebrained for the money and followers.

In 2016/17 we have bad dems fighting for globalization, Russophobia, military intervention, and slave labour.

Also if you're for single payer healthcare you're a racist.

Was Greenwald the one involved with this incident or was it another intercept person?

the person who actually handled the story was another intercept person, but Glenn is high-ranking enough that he should've been involved, and he went to unusual lengths to poo poo on the leak when it first broke - actively telling people that it probably wasn't true and they shouldn't believe it, which a lot of people thought was odd because he was publicly declaring that he thought his own outlet's big scoop was false

the prevailing opinion was already "wow, Greenwald is so mad at this leak that he's trying to sink his own company's story" by the time the Winner arrest hit the news. so when the court documents revealed the amateur-hour horseshit the Intercept had done, people were more willing to ascribe it to malice rather than incompetence

The problem is none of the discussion ITT makes any sense after the fact because she always deletes her tweets for some reason despite clearly not regretting them in the slightest

I was at donutgate helping deliver the petitions, and the most ridiculous part was that there were like, 50-60 people and 1 box of giant-brand donut holes.

I mean come on, they could have at least gotten enough for everyone lol.

Also they had a barricade up and sent out some pregnant lady to try and calm us down. I felt bad for her she was really trying when stuck in a megashit situation.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume those were meant for a meeting or something and they just grabbed what was available.

the founder of the New Democrats is launching an new political movement

it's called New Democracy

no, I'm not making that up

it's a "radically pragmatic" movement based around "expanding the party" and "building a strong coalition"

the organization will be a combo thinktank/superPAC that will support "pragmatic" candidates in "Middle America" "places Democrats have been losing"

yes, I said "pragmatic" twice. that word is all over their loving site

seriously just look at this poo poo

quote:

Since 2000, the party’s electoral appeal has narrowed steadily, demographically and geographically. We have traded intensity of support among minorities, millennials, single women and secular voters for breadth of support across the whole electorate.

Having sleepwalked into minority party status, Democrats can’t win simply by “energizing” a base that’s not big enough. To lead America, we must expand the party.

Democrats are united in our resolve to resist the Trump Republicans’ assaults on the nation’s democratic institutions and norms, and basic standards of honesty and civility. But opposition alone won’t build durable Democratic majorities. That will take a positive governing vision that reaches beyond core partisans and gives moderate and independent voters something to say “yes” to.

The road to new Democratic majorities runs through the places we are losing – the outer suburbs and exurbs, smaller cities and towns and rural areas of America’s vast red interior. The party’s Washington establishment has yet to develop a plausible strategy for winning on this competitive terrain. We should look instead to Democrats who win elections and govern in America’s red and purple zones. Their successes highlight the kind of problem-solving pragmatism and crossover appeal that can help Democrats regain competitiveness everywhere.
