The left wing of the party are running the table.

After 2016, I think that the conventional wisdom among more centrist Libs considering a run was that you should adopt Sanders’ platform and that would neuter him in ‘20. But the same dumbshit cargo cult politics that make them think if they run to the center they’ll pick up GOP moderate voters blinkered them here. They don’t get that if people are getting the real deal from either the Bernie wing or the GOP, they’re not going to go for some watered down substitute.

Their other problem is that since they adopted Sanders’ platform (yes, a hollow imitation that only rhymes, but still) they are seen as having already submitted to the progressive wing, which isn’t a recipe for not having to submit more. So now we get to force the candidates to make pledges around fundraising that they will have to break, and in fact are already. And we get to force Think Progress to apologize for their attempted ratfucking. And now Harris has to apologize for this policy.

They thought that you just bend the knee once and that you are done. They don’t understand that they will keep having to bend it now or suffer the backlash.

This is why we need to get imperialism on the table before the debates, before the Overton window ossifies into place.

For the first time in a generation we have an actual leftist movement in politics. People aren't going to let that poo poo go now that Bernie actually addresses common people's economic interest. The succdems have basically already lost, I just hope they concede that fact before the gigadeaths start piling up.

My personal definition of succdem is everyone in the race except Gravel, Sanders, and Warren on a good day. It's a good way to bitch about liberals without making people assume you've been redpilled.

You notice how Blade and The Matrix were about a monolithic conspiracy, hidden just under the surface of everyday life, of human-seeming monsters conspiring to suck the life out of you? And how the sequels, released post 9/11, have convoluted plots with multiple factions loving each other over for unclear reasons?

When I was a kid (early/mid '80s, I think), I would go to the library (technically, the "Athenaeum") and read about the Air Force's Project Blue Book, and it scared the living poo poo out of me. Still kinda gives me the willies.

Virgil's description of Ted Cruz as "the thumbnail image for a click-bait article entitled "a housewife found what in her toilet?" is an all-timer, as well.
