Hello everyone and welcome to another roaring episode of "Democrats keep losing to people with 30% approval ratings"! This time I'm going to actually try and keep the OP up to date with recent news such as.....

-Ossof has lost the GA-6 race. Getting exactly the same amount of votes as he did in the primary and the literal ghost candidate that ran before him

-Every other democrat running in an important special election has lost as well; with some like Quist vastly outperforming Hillary by 20 points.

-In general the mood in the loose coalition that comprises the establishment is "far more silent than usual" more than likely due to the repeated close losses despite the GOP shooting themselves in the dick constantly

-"When they go low we go high" is now dead with even fools like Neera realizing that respectability politics is pointless

-THE ABSOLUTE BOY'S (Corbyn) win in the UK against all odds combined with how well Quist did over Ossof paints an ever more clear picture that the path to power for the democratic party runs through Bernie Would Have Won Land

And here I thought the Suck zone sucked so much it locked itself as an unopenable vacuum.

My fears were quickly smash, much like centralism has been in recent races

About
His dad worked in the water distribution industry, and his mother was a property manager. He grew up playing soccer and football, and he played childhood chess games with his grandfather. He learned the importance of social justice, empathy toward others, and doing the right thing even when it is difficult. His passion for public service was sparked when, at 10 years old, he attended a campaign rally and met his new hero, then-First Lady Hillary Clinton.

Some good publications that write about US politics from a left wing or liberal policy perspective, and have weighed in on the state of the Democratic Party --

The American Prospect

N+1

Jacobin Magazine

The New Republic (hail Jeet)

The New York Review of Books

The London Review of Books

Edit- I forgot The Baffler, thanks Shear Modulus

Plus Vox.com has put on a few good takes since the election.

I have to pretend to work for a bit longer but when I'm done I can provide article rather than homepage links if there is interest.

Ed Balls.
