No one else has used those words? quote:And even if I went with the other version, I'd argue that "god told me to" is still more measured language than 9/10 statements Trump has made. Because unlike Trump, Bush went out of his way to assure Muslims we were not at war with you

Ornedan posted:Would you like to substantiate this little smear of yours? It's simple, you see: centrists are cool and calm about this. They are the better men. Progressives, conversely, are dumb, and so goddamn crazy Centrists would never think of doing anything as childish and immature as "blowing up the coalition when they don't get everything they want," they merely "clean house" of anyone who would ever dare oppose them, like worldly-wise adults. There is a huge distinction there.

Goddamnit, we agree on 90% of everything. This is a turf war over personnel rather than issues. This gets back to my point about Bernie loyalty being confused for ideology. What even is centrism anymore? When I think about blowing up the coalition, I think about going on Fox News to attack your own party. I think about contributing to the platform before endorsing Jill Stein. I think about spreading lies because they make the Dems look bad. I think about kvetching for months about how you just don't know if you'll vote. These things happened. To get back to cartoons: https://twitter.com/PKuperArt/status/922830064781266944

all progressives must be purged from the party mechanism because some progressives have said they don't trust the party mechanism that hurts the party mechanism's feelings ![]() Also, ideology is meaningless!!! We agree on everything anyway!!! That's why the minority of people who disagree with me personally on that other 10% of stuff have to be fired. They had it coming because of Internet comments.

The rest, I don't know. But by the same token I don't know if they lost their jobs because they supported Keith Ellison. At some point, if we want to put together a winning team, we have to trust each other, or at least pretend to until after the ballots are cast. And again, the DNC is a committee that raises money and decides presidential nomination rules, not the ideological organ of every Democrat in the country.

DACK FAYDEN posted:(foreignpolicy dot com, where I stole that specific quote from, thinks it's bullshit... but, well, let's just say it's recent enough to be partisan.) I think it's bullshit too, but for a different reason. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/andrewbrown/2009/aug/10/religion-george-bush quote:President Jacques Chirac wanted to know what the hell President Bush had been on about in their last conversation. Bush had then said that when he looked at the Middle East, he saw "Gog and Magog at work" and the biblical prophecies unfolding. But who the hell were Gog and Magog? Neither Chirac nor his office had any idea. But they knew Bush was an evangelical Christian, so they asked the French Federation of Protestants, who in turn asked Professor Römer. Anyways the forpo article is bullshit too because its point is essentially "man, if only the invasion of Iraq had been perceived as legitimate" instead of, you know, "man, if only it didn't happen".

It would be nice for everyone to get along with everyone in the party, sure, but purging dissenters is a pretty short term solution and if anything it exacerbates the existing problems in the long run. I'm not familiar with zogby, but if their highest crime is "voted for not Hillary" then this is a really stupid strategic move that's just going to take a lot of chips out of a lot of shoulders. Also the DNC isn't an ideological organ sure, but it contributes financially and lends credibility to those it deems worthy of public support, so I think it has more sway than what you're claiming. I mean yeah, sure, just because it dumps millions into a state level politicians campaign doesnt mean it's going to win, but they tried and that counts for something. It is, at the very least, dictating not just nomination rules but federal and state level strategy, and to suggest it's just a glorified community chest is disingenuous, because even being the sole allocator over such a resource grants some level of power over those elligible to receive it.

I wish this dumbass food fight didn't exist, but since it does, we should really just indulge the "progressives" because giving them what they want prevents them from turning into whiny dicks, and it doesn't do any harm. The fact that they - the left - are marginally better on policy is just a bonus. I wonder, whar did the DNC members who voted for Perez gain that was worth alienating thin-skinned Bernie supporters who see persecution around every corner, and can't find the real threats to our country with a map and compass and Waze? I don't really understand what either side is bitching about, but I don't see "centrists" rending garments when somebody says "$15 minimum wage". "Centrists" are not going to sit out an election because they don't want single-payer and the candidate does. Mellow Seas fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Oct 24, 2017 |

You'd be surprised; Bernie voters showed up in the GE at a higher proportion than Hillary voters did in the 2008 GE but your main point, that purging progressives from the DNC is Perez cutting off his nose to spite his face, is still correct

Wow someone get Bok a lozenge! Here let's see if I can do the same for him! From *cough**cough*1981 to 1982*cough**cough* he was staff editorial cartoonist at the Clearwater Sun in Clearwater, Florida. In *cough**cough*2017*cough**cough* a *cough**cough*teen*cough**cough* was charged with second degree murder in Clearwater Florida for killing someone during a car jacking. Clearwater Florida is home to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium where three dolphins have died. But don't let that stop Chip Bok from enjoying his mutually beneficial relationship with the local paper who *cough**cough*paid*cough**cough* him. It is also the Headquarters of the Church of Scientology. It's leader was L Ron Hubbard. Chip Bok went to the University of Dayton in *cough**cough*1974*cough**cough*, the year Ronald DeFeo killed his entire family in *cough**cough*Long Island*cough**cough*, and the year the *cough**cough*Turkish Airlines *cough**cough* flight crashed making it the deadliest plane crash in history!

Ornedan posted:Would you like to substantiate this little smear of yours? He doesn't really have to. Just substitute every single argument that leftists used to say that the DNC isn't important and its an insult to give it when Tom Perez gave Keith Ellison the position he currently holds. The pattern is that everything leftists are given isn't important, and is the biggest insult ever, and every perceived slight is actually the most crucial thing, and also the biggest insult ever. Anything less than total and complete supplication is being blackballed. Mellow Seas posted:I wish this dumbass food fight didn't exist, but since it does, we should really just indulge the "progressives" because giving them what they want prevents them from turning into whiny dicks, and it doesn't do any harm. No it doesn't, it just leads to them declaring what they were given as worthless, and crying that its an insult that they were even given it. I point you to the 2016 party platform, which progressives have said was just lies after they were allowed to dictate it, and we ended up with one of the people who loving wrote the platform campaigning for Jill goddamn Stein. loquacius posted:You'd be surprised; Bernie voters showed up in the GE at a higher proportion than Hillary voters did in the 2008 GE No, of those that voted, they voted in a higher percentage for Hillary than the similar situation in 2008. You seem to keep forgetting the four crucial qualifying words "Of those that voted".
