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

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.

Yeah, it's weird because the entire point of calling yourself a centrist is to be actively ignorant of the ideologies and policy prescriptions that result from said ideologies but still pretend that you're an enlightened figure who's somehow above petty partisanship or politics itself. Actually arguing and communicating ideas undoes that whole venture from a foundational level.

well the dems arent doing abortion rights a big favor by constantly adopting the right's framing that abortions are bad and should be "rare" and that women who get them should feel distraught

Pener Kropoopkin posted:

If you're not willing to make a positive case for abortion then you can't claim to be a feminist, because the fundamental underlying issue is reproductive rights and family planning. Not whether or not a fetus is actually a baby or should have human rights, which is a bullshit framing cooked up by reactionaries to justify continued social leverage over women.

hillary wins among loyal democrats but independents in open primaries hate her. lucky for hillary, the more electable candidate, the general election is also closed to non-democrats

Willa Rogers posted:

What does David Yankovich actually do? The bio on his campaign website says something like "joined his mother in property management" but I can't find a lick of info on who he is and what he does for a living.

A google search turned up his defunct blog, the broken road, but the blog now redirects to his campaign page (which offers next to nothing on his bio and policy positions) and there's no way (internet archive, maybe?) to access his posts.

Bad dems love to pretend they've just sprouted into being, and are loath to have their past statements exposed.

"joined his mother in property management" sounds like his family are landlords with a bunch of rental properties
