Cerebral Bore posted:Some literal baddem.txt here. Former presidents apparently appear out of the ether and live in the political equivalent of a hermetically sealed bubble. Anybody who might be concerned by appearances of impropriety is an idiot who should be ignored even if they make up almost half the electorate. Giving a poo poo about incompetents running the party into the loving ground is dumb and also apathy. We can take everybody who disagrees for granted because they have no other choice. Corporate money is a hell of a drug

frakeaing HAMSTER DANCE posted:I don't see the Left getting our poo poo together before then. I'd be surprised if we even get a decent challenger for 2020. Me either, until the Democratic Party is completely dissolved it will continue to be the Washington Generals of politics; which is exactly what the donors are paying for.

Radish posted:That's going to be interesting to watch. There's definitely a sizable portion of the population who aren't averse to government helping to solve their problems, it's just that Republicans run on the culture war stuff since their donors don't want change and Democrats are paid by the same donors to follow their lead or get replaced.

flashman posted:If the Democrats are planning to govern with a bunch of centrist or right wing votes to prop up their majority we are in need of the return of earmarks. The inability to make deals with dissenting viewpoints has really hampered the governments ability to accomplish anything worth while. Yes! I'll take a billion bridges to nowhere if it means we can pass a loving budget!

Brony Car posted:Is is that bad for Obama to speak with rich people and try to get them on board with more liberal ideas and make some money (because they can afford it)? He didn't charge fees when he was speaking at schools from what I remember. In criminal law there's a principle called "Fruit of the Poison Tree" that refers to when evidence is gathered illegally, the idea being that no matter how compelling the evidence it is tainted by the way it was gathered. Money given by Wall Street bankers should be seen the same way, as ill gotten gains that cannot and should not be taken by people of conscience.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I'm responding to a guy that's saying "America isn't particularly leftist" which this chart shows is a lie even if you don't include all the people who didn't vote (45% of the country!) The people in power in the Democratic party aren't leftists, the people they socialize with aren't leftists, the authors they read aren't leftists, the people they watch on TV aren't leftists and their good friends in the Republican party aren't leftist; therefore no one in the country is a leftist! Better run more centrists!

call to action posted:Reformed Hillarymen like Majorian are ultimately a threat. Everyone likes to peddle this kumbayaa bullshit about how Trump pulled us all together, but the fact is that if it took 11/9 to get to that point, you are a risk.

Condiv posted:basically, hillary's campaign was for old people. she was not interested in pandering to "self-interested" college attending millenials, she was not interested in pandering to young black people, or young poc in general. the only group she specifically targeted (and increased her vote share with over obama) was rich old people. and that's just not a path forward. Yeah, it is good though that she and the rest of the Democratic establishment finally admitted it. Now everyone knows what’s going on, and hopefully won’t get fooled again.

Appropos union chat and Florida, this morning on ABC in Tampa they did a short piece on trade jobs that don't require a college degree yet pay a living wage. Literally every single one was a union job, but unions weren't mentioned even once. The right has done a hell of a job poisoning the well.

NewForumSoftware posted:This is just categorically incorrect no matter how many times you repeat it. [quote="“WampaLord”" post="“474715919”"] Do you not understand that the rules are different for these people? You and I and any idiot on Twitter can go “gently caress McCain, he’s a piece of poo poo, I wish he died” and that’s all loving great. If a Congressperson does that, they’re gone. They’re out, like, no questions asked they are going to lose their next election. Different things are different! So “optics” is your angle here? It’s bad optics for the Dems to clap, but if they had booed instead, that would be good optics that would win them lots of votes? Reminder, they all voted against the motion. That is the important part, not the clapping. [/quote] HAHHAHAHAHHAHA, have you forgotten who the loving President is? How loving dumb are you?

You want to know why Trump is President and Bernie almost won the Democratic primary? It's because they acted like normal loving human beings when confronted with the issues most Americans deal with; they got mad, loud and passionate.

I posted:Well Chris, I'm going to be focused on making 2018 a banner year the Democratic party. We're going to take the energy we saw in the presidential primary race and we're going to turn that toward races at all levels, including the House, and when people hear our strong progressive message I think we will win control back. Even when we do though, it's not just about winning, it's about doing the right thing for the working class and especially the working poor in this country.
