personally, I feel like we're overdue for another round of "the establishment sucks and can't do anything right and we don't need their help. also, the only reason our anti-establishment candidate lost is because the establishment didn't support them"

centrists' value came in their being a vote for a Democratic speaker/majority leader to control what makes it to the floor for a vote, but if they can't even provide that (because they can't win), they're no use whatsoever so you might as well run full communists in a R+20 district, gently caress it


as evidenced by how bernie sanders drove youth turnout during the primary just like corbyn did

no one cares about primaries, especially not young people and independents. turns out those folks are still a key part of an effective dem coalition in the general election, though! clinton tried to replace them with moderate, wealthy republicans and got loving humiliated

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

You could literally also describe Ron Paul with that too.

I mean the fuckos he blamed was the Fed itself for allowing/perpetuating the habit the lenders had, but he still had fuckos to blame.

one would think that the fact that Obamacare repeal is really just a $800b tax cut for the wealthy would perhaps hint that Obamacare itself perhaps was a program to redistribute money from the wealthy to the poor?
