Just to interrupt all this bitching and moaning about how people are afraid of how powerful you are, and how those puny democrats are nothing before the true power of the DSA, Cynthia Nixon got crushed by Cuomo. I trust you will now all staunchly refuse to figure out why that happened and continue to insist that only a TRUE leftist could win.

Let me try it in a way thats more palatable to you.

Sure, Cuomo may have "gotten more votes" and "appealed to more people" and will "actually get to be governor", but Nixon appealled to you personally, and that's the REAL victory.

Do you use this same logic to explain why it's good when Republicans win elections? If you think Cuomo's politics are superior to Nixon's, by all means make that argument, but it's bizarre to act like supporting a politician who loses is bad for some reason. Are all people in red states dumb for not voting for Repulicans?

I don't think Cuomo's policies are superior. I'm using the facts to try and deflate a little bit of the loving air out of the heads of the people in this thread who are so very certain you and only you are able to win elections, and the clueless Democrats ideas are just holding you back.

Nixon should have done better, appealed to more voters, and not have acted bitter about high voter turnout.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
Gosh I can't believe the guy who was endorsed by every single organization and outlet in and around NYC (including the nation's biggest and most respected newspaper) and was soft-pedaled by the media at large won the primary. As an idiot leftist, I believe that all you have to do is stand up and repeat your values in a monotone voice and you'll triumph over every single institutional and financial power arrayed against you, that's the power of SOCIALISM

nah, JC truly believes. Fulchrum doubts. it's why he gets spicier.

why he felt genuine relief when Cuomo won. why he needed to rush in, and triumphantly wave the flag of Weinstein's fixer, to own the libs.

because he was, and still is, afraid that a better world might actually be possible, and all the people he's gleefully written off as Why The Left Loses- the goddamn queers who lost it for Kerry, the goddamn Obama Boys who lost it for Hillary the first time, and the goddamn BernieBros who lost it for her the second- were sacrificed for nothing.

a part of him is disgusted that he's reduced to calling Cuomo's victory a triumph for his tribe.

it is why we will get him in the end.

Dems are sometimes good, sometimes bad, but the DEMS ARE GOOD/DEMS ARE OUR HOPE/DEMS ARE GONNA DO THIS posts all slide right past that rule because they basically don't upset the feelings of the people who insist on the DEMS ARE BAD rule, which to be fair is the majority of the posters in the thread. It's as simple as that--one side of the debate gets to run wild in there, and even actively bait, as I've seen, the other side with "I bet Greenwald/VitalSigns is going to pop up in a second to tell us..." posts, and the impulse to respond is officially against the rules.

you should report that stuff when you see it because those posts also suck rear end.

I was walking my not-girlfriend's dog today. Like most dogs he's really curious and seems excited about everything around him; I kind of wonder how he perceives the world so differently as to find the same trail so exciting. Towards the end of the walk he was really intently sniffing at a spot on the grass. I didn't think anything of it, until he started rolling around in it and I immediately realized he's rolling around in poo poo again, and took him back in and gave him a bath.

Except for the bath part, I think you can see the similarities. I didn't think to read the username until I noticed how gross it was, and immediately realized who it had to be.

I was actually harassed by police for political organizing, but a household name winning an election after a sleazy campaign isn't exactly a meaningful referendum on anything.

seriously, fulchrum. imagine a world where you could take joy in such things, as opposed to having to view them as an assault on you personally, with the only balm for those wounds being the knowledge "at least my guy, Harvey Weinstein's fixer, is still governor."

a better world is possible. a better you is possible. there is nothing more freeing than looking at the cast-off husk of what you used to believe and saying "i don't have to defend that anymore."
