the schism/faction thing in the party is irrevocable, at this point... there's not going to be any dem electoral victories for the near future bc so many berdies won't vote for bad dems anymore while lanyards are sticking with their corporate-donors-and-pragmatic-baby-steps-are-just-fine-and-who-needs-single-payer-anyway scripts.

I guess some of the congressional races in 2018 will garner votes from both types of dems, especially where there aren't primary contests, but the next presidential race is prolly a lost cause. Warren & Franken are kinda feet-in-both-camps (rather, they're perceived that way) but there's no way Perez et al. are gonna turn their trite pap and trump-bad reflexes into a united and victorious party in the next few years.

like sorry Willa i respect you a lot as a poster and you did a lot to educate me on how generation wars are largely a GOP messaging campaign to undermine the social safety net, and for that i thank you, but this self-pitying lets-all-cut-our-loving-wrists-because-hope-is-dead poo poo is pathetic beyond words

Schumer, to his credit, endorsed Ellison for DNC chair. i would not expect him of all people to have a bearing on which way the wind is blowing, but if even he can figure it out then that alone should be cause for hope.

essentially im just loving tired of this endless lily-livered defeatism from the wing of the party thats supposed to be the vanguard. yeah, you take some Ls. so it goes. life's a bitch. no one told you this would be easy. loving cowboy up because if all it takes to rip your spine out is losing a house seat in loving Georgia then your revolution was stillborn.

I'm not self-pitying and I'm no longer a democrat. I have no vested interest in the future of the dem party, but I'm fascinated with the changes that I see younger generations than mine making inside & outside the political process.

But I also see the civil war, as FG put it, and I actually think that's good and healthy for both the party and the country.

thank you so loving much for laying the responsibility of waging this civil war on us younger generations, boomer. im sure youll be loving vindicated in your pissy disaffectation, because you have the luxury of adopting it.

incidentally watching RTJ turn into the unofficial soundtrack of the left has been pretty awesome because it means that all these old dudes keep winding up on stage with Killer Mike and El-P and its like "yeah we should do more good things and fewer bad things. now heres a song about cunnilingus"

frankly i think this kind of discourse should be more widely adopted

Humanitarian centrism. I know foreign policy is like the thing most americans care about the least but any democratic primary that doesn't address the grip the Washington consensus has is going to lead to some incredibly hosed up poo poo even if Hillary "Nuke Tehran" Clinton isn't the one running, and want it or not, US foreign policy has knock on effects on some of the terrible poo poo that happens domestically. Imperial centers have a deep rot basically. Basically primary Schumer even if he bends the knee.
